CONNECTING Brighton Trail & East Lexington to Downtown

Developing a Plan for Future Trail Connections

About our Project

We are creating a plan to connect east Lexington to downtown with a walkable and bike-friendly route. Our goal is to link the Brighton Trail in Hamburg to the Isaac Murphy Memorial Art Garden Trailhead in downtown Lexington, where the Town Branch and Legacy Trails meet. 

Check out the final report!

This study continues the city's efforts to create a trail network across Lexington. Safe and comfortable options for bicycling and walking help ease congestion, enhance public health, support local business, and improve our air.
