After considering feedback from people in our neighborhood and Bell Court, Lexington’s Traffic Engineering office plans changes in the crosswalk on Walton Avenue, with construction scheduled to begin in late May or early June. The crosswalk will move south on Walton towards Hambrick Avenue. The office says the location change was made for several reasons:
- It allows for better visibility for vehicles coming from Winchester Road.
- Vehicles will have more time to slow down before the crosswalk.
- The location allows for median lines to be painted on the street, which allows for pedestrians to cross one lane at a time.
If you have questions or concerns about this plan, you may email Brian Knapp or Grace Foley in Traffic Engineering.
