New pedestrian bridge and ADA paths enhance access to Great Lawn Park

The Lexington Public Arts Commission meeting on May 6, 2025, highlighted significant developments in the city's park accessibility. A key focus was the newly designed passageway leading to the Great Lawn, which features both grand stairs and an ADA-compliant path. This dual-access approach ensures that all visitors can enjoy the park, regardless of mobility challenges.

Commission members discussed the importance of these improvements, emphasizing that the ADA-compliant path, while longer, provides a vital option for those who need it. The design includes a pedestrian bridge that allows users to cross over the LCC Access Road, landing at a scenic perch overlooking the park.

The meeting underscored the city's commitment to inclusivity in public spaces, with plans for further enhancements to ensure that everyone can experience the beauty of Lexington's parks. As these developments unfold, the community can look forward to a more accessible and enjoyable outdoor environment.
