Versailles Road Multimodal Evaluation US 60, Lexington, KY iii INTRODUCTION The Versailles Road corridor is a major arterial into the heart of Lexington, KY, connecting the Bluegrass Airport, Keeneland, and the Bluegrass Parkway with downtown. In addition, the corridor serves as the most heavily used transit route within the city. Heavy pedestrian and bicycle usage also exist on the corridor making it one of the most vibrant and diverse multimodal corridors in the city if not the state. However, few improvements have been made for either automobile or other modes of transportation in recent years leading to a poor condition of some facilities and the need for improved and expanded modal facilities on the corridor. A recent report by the Kentucky Transportation Center titled “Evaluation of Road Diets” identified some alternatives to balance auto and other mode uses on corridors such as Versailles Road, and this study was initiated in order to test the feasibility of road diet options. However, the traffic volumes on the roadway exceed the recommended range for those alternatives. Therefore, there is a distinct need to develop alternatives that can improve multimodal uses on high volume roadways, and the Versailles Road corridor is a prime candidate for the development and evaluation of such measures.

The objective of this study is to identify alternative roadway configurations that are capable of balancing multimodal uses including vehicular, pedestrian, bicycle and transit modes. The limits of the study area are from Alexandria Drive to Oliver Lewis Way (Figure 1).

Figure 1: Study Area

Versailles Road Multimodal Evaluation US 60, Lexington, KY 1 EXISTING CONDITIONS Versailles Road through the study area is varied in terms of land use as well as transportation infrastructure. The western end of the project near Alexandria Drive is a commercial activity center with several highway related businesses such as fast food, other restaurants and gas stations. The middle of the corridor is a residential area with a mix of single family homes and townhomes/apartments. Closer to downtown, the land use is once again commercial but varying in type with more retail and service oriented businesses.

Likewise cross section on the corridor varies widely as well. The western end of the corridor provides a wide 70 foot cross section complete with bike lanes and a center two-way left turn lane (TWLTL) and wide sidewalks (See Figure 2). This section is juxtaposed with the narrow 44 foot cross section on the eastern terminus which has narrow lanes, no TWLTL and narrow 4 foot sidewalks (Figure 3).

There are 12 signalized intersections within the study area (listed below). As many of these are minor intersections with low volumes, capacity analysis was only conducted on major intersections that had the potential to affect the operations of the corridor.

1. Alexandria Drive 7. Delmont Drive 2. Village Drive 8. Red Mile Road/Forbes Road 3. Mason Headley Road 9. Bennet Avenue 4. Oxford Circle 10. Angliana Avenue 5. Hamilton Park 11. Robertson Street 6. Terrace View Park 12. Oliver Lewis Way Analysis of traffic volumes on the corridor indicates that volumes have been relatively stable over the past 25 years, having an Average Daily Traffic (ADT) volume between 25,000 and 30,000 vehicles per day. Figure 4 below shows the 25 year historical traffic counts for three sections between 1) Alexandria Drive and Mason Headley Road, 2) Mason Headley Road and Red Mile Road/Forbes Road and 3) Red Mile Road to Oliver Lewis Way. As can be seen, traffic volumes are steady, but they are also shown to

Versailles Road Multimodal Evaluation US 60, Lexington, KY 2 decrease as you proceed closer to downtown Lexington, with the section east of Red Mile Road having the lowest volumes on the corridor.

Figure 4: Historical Traffic Volumes (ADT) on Versailles Road

While volumes have been historically steady, it should be noted that several major projects are currently underway or planned for the west side of Lexington. These include reconstruction of US 25 (Georgetown Road), Reconstruction of US 421 (Leestown Road) as well as major improvements on New Circle Road. All projects are set to begin in the next few years and construction schedules may overlap in some instances. During this time Versailles may serve as a primary alternate route into downtown Lexington and as such see a potential increase in volumes for the short term.

In addition to historical traffic data, turn movement counts were collected by the Lexington Fayette Urban County Government (LFUCG) at all signalized intersections on the corridor. Appendix A contains the turn movement count data for these intersections.

Capacity Analysis Capacity analysis was conducted for the existing conditions using Highway Capacity Manual algorithms as applied by Synchro version 8. Analysis was conducted for the major intersections at Alexandria Drive, Mason Headley Road, Red Mile Road and Oliver Lewis Way. For the existing conditions, only PM peak analysis was conducted as this represents the worst case scenario due to the heavier volume of traffic. Table 1 below summarizes the intersection level of service and delay for each intersection.

Versailles Road Multimodal Evaluation US 60, Lexington, KY 3 Table 1: Existing Conditions Level of Service (LOS) (PM Peak) Mason Red Oliver Measure of Alexandria Headley Mile/Forbes Lewis effectiveness Drive Road Road Way Delay (s/veh) 31.3 33.4 39.0 22.6

LOS C C D C

As shown in Table 1 all intersections on the corridor operate at acceptable levels of service with all at LOS C except Red Mile Road which operates at LOS D with only 39 seconds of delay on average per vehicle. No individual movements or intersection approaches were observed to operate with a LOS below a D.

This analysis shows that while some limited congestion may exist during peak hours, adequate capacity exists on the corridor to efficiently move traffic into and out of Lexington as a major arterial into Lexington.

Crash Analysis A 5 year crash analysis was completed for the Versailles Road corridor to assess safety issues on the corridor. Within the 5 year period (January 1, 2008 - December 31, 2012), 772 crashes were recorded in the Kentucky State Police Crash Database within the study area resulting in a crash rate of 537 crashes per 100 million vehicles miles. The average crash rate for urban 4-lane undivided highways, such as Versailles Road, is 475 crashes per 100 million vehicle miles, with a critical crash rate of 543. Therefore, it can be seen that the crash rate on the corridor exceeds the average crash rate and is effectively equal to the critical crash rate, indicating a statistically higher than average crash occurrence on the corridor. Figure 5 shows the distribution of crash types.

As can be seen from the figure, rear end and angle crashes are the two most significant crash patterns on the corridor, accounting for over 70 percent of the total crashes. These crash patterns are typical of several conditions, such as

1) High levels of congestion with start and stop traffic which contributes to rear ends. As Versailles Road is a major commuter corridor with over 25,000 vehicles per day, the high number of rear end crashes is not out of the ordinary. 2) Poor access control, as is present on the eastern commercial portion of the corridor also lends itself to increased rear end and angle crashes as vehicles enter and exit the traffic stream to access adjacent drives. Examining Figure 6 below, a concentration of angle crashes is evident in the commercial areas to the west and east.

Figure 6: Angle Crashes Locations

Versailles Road Multimodal Evaluation US 60, Lexington, KY 5 In addition to the high prevalence of rear end and angle crashes on the corridor, a high number of pedestrian and bicyclist crashes were also noted. Of the 54 crashes identified as single vehicle crashes, 24 involve either collisions with pedestrians or bicyclists (14 pedestrians, 10 bicyclists). Figures 7 and 8 show the location of the pedestrian and bicyclist crashes, respectively.

Figure 7: Pedestrian Crash Locations

As can be seen form the figures, only 5 pedestrian crashes occurred at intersections, while 9 are identified as at midblock locations. Moreover, the majority of pedestrian crashes are located within the narrower 4-lane section of the roadway between Oxford Circle and Red Mile Road.

Figure 8: Bicycle Crash Locations

Similar to pedestrian crashes, only 3 bicycle crashes are reported at intersections with 7 identified as midblock. The majority of bicycle crashes also occur east of Mason Headley Road, i.e., areas where bike lanes are not present.

Versailles Road Multimodal Evaluation US 60, Lexington, KY 6 Transit Conditions As noted above, the Versailles Road corridor has the highest transit ridership on the LexTran System. The corridor is served by three routes, 8, 21 and 31, as shown in Figure 9, below. These Routes connect Fayette Mall, Beaumont Center, Bluegrass airport and Keeneland with the downtown transit center, as well as provide east-west connectivity between Nicholasville Road/University of Kentucky Campus and Harrodsburg Road with Oxford Circle. Route 8 is the most frequent running on 35 minute headways the majority of the time with approximately 1 hour to 1.5 hour headways on Sunday. Routes 21 and 31 are less frequent running only 8 and 9 times per day respectively, Monday through Friday.

Figure 9: Versailles Road Corridor Transit Routes

Over 18 stops are located within the 2.3 mile long study area on Versailles Road, with additional stops on adjacent streets, such as Alexandria Drive, Oxford Circle, and Red Mile Road.

A review of the on-time schedule for Route 8 indicates that it operated over a 91 percent on-time during the three month period from January 1, 2013 to March 31, 2013.

Versailles Road Multimodal Evaluation US 60, Lexington, KY 7 TRAVEL SURVEY In order to better understand the travel patterns of people using the Versailles Road Corridor and to assist with identifying specific problem areas, a travel survey was conducted of residents and through traffic on the Versailles Road Corridor. The purpose of the survey was to 1) identify the range of modes and combined modes used on the corridor, 2) identify potential problem areas and concerns associated with each mode of travel and 3) identify potential solutions to address the problem areas identified in No. 2 above. The results of this analysis were used to drive the development of alternatives and serve as a validation of the existing conditions traffic analysis.

Surveys were distributed in electronic and hardcopy format. A link to the online survey was distributed among the Friends of Versailles Road email list as well as posted on the Lexington Fayette Urban County Government Website, Facebook page and announced on Twitter. Hardcopies of the survey were also distributed to area businesses, churches and residents through the efforts of Friends of Versailles road. In all 261 surveys were completed, with 130 completed online and 134 hardcopies submitted. Both English and Spanish language surveys were distributed with 17 Spanish language surveys completed.

The survey consisted of 12 questions, which included both multiple choice and open response type questions. Questions from the survey are listed below. A full example of the survey and a listing of all multiple choice and open responses are provided in Appendix B.

1. Please select the answer below that best describes your relationship with the Versailles Road Corridor. 2. What is your most common mode of travel through the Versailles Road Corridor? 3. Do you often combine travel modes through Versailles Road, such as bike to bus? 4. If you ever WALK on the corridor, on what part of Versailles Road do you typically WALK 5. In your opinion, what are the major barriers to WALKING on the Versailles Road Corridor? 6. If you ever BIKE on the corridor, on what part of Versailles Road do you typically BIKE (check all that apply)? 7. If you ever BIKE on Versailles Road corridor, where do you typically ride? 8. In your opinion, what are the major barriers to BIKING on the Versailles Road Corridor? (Open Response) 9. If you ever ride the BUS on the Versailles Road Corridor, where do you catch the bus? 10. In your opinion, what are the major barriers to BUS usage on the Versailles Road Corridor? (Please be as specific as possible.) (Open Response) 11. What are your top three recommendations for improving WALKING and BIKING and TRANSIT on the Versailles Road Corridor? (Open Response) 12. Please provide any additional comments (Open Response)

Versailles Road Multimodal Evaluation US 60, Lexington, KY 8 Figure 10: Question 1 Survey Response

As can be seen from the responses summarized on Figure 10, the majority of respondents live, work, or live and work on the corridor, indicating that the respondents are those most affected by the multimodal improvements being investigated by the study. The survey did not however identify a significant number of respondents who travel through the corridor on the way to other places within the city.

While the majority of respondents did travel by car (Figure 11) a relatively large percentage of respondents did indicate that they walk and/or travel by transit within the corridor as well. These respondents assist in determining ways to improve multi-modal connections in the area.

Figure 11: Question 2 Survey Response

Versailles Road Multimodal Evaluation US 60, Lexington, KY 9 As indicated by Figure 12 below, pedestrian activity is relatively consistent throughout the entire corridor without one area being a major center of activity over the others. The first and last sections, from Alexandria Drive to Mason Headley and Red Mile Road to Oliver Lewis Way have a slight increased response over others, but it is also noted that these are the more concentrated commercial activity centers on the corridor.

Figure 12: Question 4 Survey Response

In contrast to walking distribution, those who cycle can clearly be seen to prefer the wider cross sections near Alexandria Drive and Mason Headley over the narrow sections surrounding Red Mile/Forbes Road. See Figure 13.

Figure 13: Question 5 Survey Response

Versailles Road Multimodal Evaluation US 60, Lexington, KY 10 Open response questions received varied responses, but trends and common themes were identified. Major problem areas identified through the survey are listed below.

Impediments to Walking  Sidewalks too narrow  Sidewalks in disrepair  Pedestrians are too close to traffic  Traffic is too fast  Poor drainage causes pedestrians to get splashed  There is a lack of or inadequate crossing facilities  Crossing times at signalized intersections are too short  Personal safety concerns due to other pedestrians were noted  Trash containers on street block and force pedestrians to walk in the street  Pavement Markings in poor condition, especially at crosswalks

Impediments to Biking  The road surface, especially at the road edge is poor and dangerous for bicyclists.  Traffic travels at too fast / high speed  There is an absence of bike lanes  Cars don't drive properly  Bikers don't ride properly  Drains are not mountable and have significant depressions that are dangerous to bicyclists.

Impediments to Transit  Bus stops are crowded / standing room only  Inadequate frequency exists on the corridor  There is inadequate stop spacing on the corridor  Buses run late and are unreliable  There is a lack of shelters/benches  There are not enough direct routes (e.g. to UK etc.)  Sunday schedules are poor

Versailles Road Multimodal Evaluation US 60, Lexington, KY 11 ALTERNATIVE ANALYSIS As stated above the primary objective of this study was to identify short term improvements that could assist in improving pedestrian, bicycle and transit usage on the corridor. In order to deliver a “short term” solution, any alternative would have to be low cost and be implementable within the existing roadway cross section. After evaluation, the only potential alternative to address these needs would be the inclusion of a road diet on the corridor. The road diet alternative would reduce the number of lanes from four to three within the narrower section of US 60 east of Mason Headley Road. The new cross- section would consist of a single travel lane in each direction and a center two-way left-turn lane (TWLTL) with bike lanes adjacent to the curb. A sample cross section is shown in Figure 14. At major intersections, the two-way left-turn lane would be operated as a dedicated left-turn lane.

There are two primary concerns with the introduction of a road diet, these being 1) roadway capacity and 2) operational safety. While the goal of this study is not to identify measures to increase vehicular speeds or capacity, significantly diminishing existing capacity can have negative consequences for motorists, transit and pedestrians. Additionally, it is imperative to not offset pedestrian safety improvements with increased crashes from motorists.

The impact of this alternative on the roadway capacity was evaluated through Highway Capacity Manual/Software algorithms as applied by Synchro 8. Analysis was completed for the intersections of Versailles Road at Mason Headley and Versailles Road at Red Mile Roads/Forbes Road as these represent the major intersections that would be affected by the proposed configuration. Table 2 and Table 3 below summarize the results of this analysis for the AM and PM peak periods.

As can be seen from the tables, several movements would operate at LOS E and F during the AM peak periods, but would then severely degrade during the PM period with both intersections operating under

Versailles Road Multimodal Evaluation US 60, Lexington, KY 13 failing conditions. In addition to the high delays shown in the tables above, all of the major movements at the intersection would operate with a volume to capacity ratio over 1, indicating unstable conditions. Additionally, significant queues would be created (traffic would have an average queue over ½ mile long in the PM rush at both intersections) which would impact upstream intersections and potentially further degrade operations at the major intersection.

As noted above, this analysis only examines existing traffic demands as growth has remained relatively flat over the last 10 years. However, even under these conditions, the proposed road diet does not appear to be a viable option. In addition to increased congestion evident from the analysis presented above, it would be expected that poor traffic flow would also manifest itself in terms of increased rear end crashes.

Versailles Road Multimodal Evaluation US 60, Lexington, KY 14 SPOT IMPROVEMENTS In addition to the road diet concept, other miscellaneous minor improvements were explored that maintained the existing cross-section and layout of the corridor, but could address identified issues on the corridor. These improvements are corridor wide improvements as well as spot improvements that deal with very specific areas on the corridor.

Corridor-wide improvements The following are the corridor wide improvements identified for the study area.

Sidewalk repair and maintenance. Sidewalks throughout the corridor are in disrepair with cracks, missing sections, and displaced joints which cause hazardous walking and wheelchair accessibility issues. In addition, the majority of sidewalks are narrow (4 feet) and do not permit easy passing when pedestrians meet. In addition, vegetation and grass adjacent to many sidewalks have encroached upon the sidewalks to further reduce the available width.

It is recommended that a corridor wide effort be undertaken to repair/maintain sidewalks to their 4 foot minimum width. This would include replacement of missing sections and displaced joints as well as clearing vegetation, with possible minor grading to reduce the chance of future encroachment. It is noted that sidewalk maintenance is the responsibility of the adjacent property owner. Therefore, targeted code enforcement activities may be used to achieve these improvements, or they may also be undertaken through joint city/neighborhood partnerships.

It is also recommended that, where feasible, sidewalks be widened to a minimum width of 5-6 feet. Due to sporadic retaining walls, short yard grades, or the placement of utility poles, this width is not available continuously; however, providing the widening with some intermittent narrow section would still significantly improve walkability on the corridor.

Inlet Repair. The majority of drainage inlets on the corridor are in disrepair with sunken inlets and damaged grates. This creates a hazard to pedestrians as it creates holes in sidewalks and further narrows the sidewalks. These conditions also create a significant hazard to cyclists riding in the street as the sunken grates create an non-passable surface forcing cyclists to merge in with high speed traffic.

It is recommended that all inlets on the corridor be reviewed and repaired/replaced where necessary to provide a smooth surface for pedestrians, bicycles and vehicles. (This issue has already been

Versailles Road Multimodal Evaluation US 60, Lexington, KY 15 submitted and discussed with KYTC for the upcoming resurfacing project).

Pavement Milling /Curb Reconstruction. Over the previous cycles of pavement resurfacing the curb line has diminished in height as the pavement surface has been raised with overlays. Furthermore, curbs have deteriorated throughout the corridor and are crumbling in many areas. This creates a safety hazard for pedestrians as it diminishes the separation between vehicles and traffic and creates areas of ponding within the curb line that can cause splashing for the adjacent sidewalks.

It is recommended that any future resurfacing include adequate milling to reduce pavement height and restore proper curb height and drainage. In addition, corridor-wide repair/replacement of curbs is recommended to restore the sidewalk edge and improve safety for pedestrians. (This issue has already been submitted and discussed with KYTC for the upcoming resurfacing project).

Traffic Signal Pedestrian Accommodations. It is recommended that the city evaluate the use of shorter cycle lengths or ‘half cycles’ during off-peak periods of the day to reduce pedestrian wait times at signalized intersections. Pedestrian signal timing should also be reviewed to ensure minimum walk and flashing don’t walk times are provided for crossing. It is recognized that all intersections on the corridor may not accommodate this strategy, but that others with heavy pedestrian activity such as those near Oxford Circle may benefit.

In addition, walking tours of the corridor identified several pedestrian buttons that did not readily activate and place a pedestrian call. It is recommended that pedestrian pushbuttons be reviewed and repaired/replaced as necessary to ensure that calls are placed. (This issue has already been submitted and responded to by LFUCG Division of Traffic Engineering).

Enhanced Pedestrian Crossings. In addition to the signal improvements above, it is recommended that enhanced crosswalk markings be placed at the signalized intersections as well. A “continental” striping pattern, similar to that used in downtown Lexington is recommended for the corridor. These markings have the ability to improve visibility and awareness of the pedestrian crossing location to both drivers and pedestrians. In addition to increasing awareness of active crossings, they may also serve to communicate to drivers that they are entering a more urban settings compared to the high-speed rural areas, west of the city.

Pedestrian Crossing Refuge Islands. As noted the majority of pedestrian crossings are located at midblock locations between Hamilton Park and Red Mile Road where signal spacing is increased. Due to the high volume of traffic and wide crossing area in this section of the corridor pedestrian crossing may be hazardous.

It is recommended that raised medians be placed to provide a form of pedestrian refuge within the existing TWLTL. A minimum length of 50 feet is recommended for refuge islands to provide sufficient size so as to be readily visible to motorists. Islands should be placed where 1) pedestrians are routinely present and/or cross and in areas where access points would not be disrupted or where control of access would be beneficial. Two locations have tentatively been identified for refuge islands. These are:

Versailles Road Multimodal Evaluation US 60, Lexington, KY 16 1. East of Heartsbrook Lane near the Ball-Quantrell Jones Recovery Center for Women (Figure 15) and 2. Between Delmont Drive and Halls Lane where several businesses have wide undefined access drives (Figure 16).

Figure 15. Proposed Refuge Island Ball-Quantrell Jones Recovery Center for Women

Figure 16. Proposed Refuge Island Delmont Drive to Halls Lane

While these locations have been chosen to cause minimal disruption to access and traffic flow they should be further evaluated by to determine the final design and location of a potential refuge island. Should it not be practical to install raised medians in the short term, flush medians marked with transverse marking may provide an interim improvement for pedestrians.

Trash Pickup Practices. During walking tours and through submitted comments, it was identified that trash receptacles were placed on the sidewalk during pickup and blocked pedestrian access. It is recommended that receptacle placement and pickup procedures be modified to place trash receptacles on driveways or off of the sidewalk so as to not block the sidewalks. (This issue has already been submitted and responded to by LFUCG).

Versailles Road Multimodal Evaluation US 60, Lexington, KY 17 Alternate Bicycle Route. The discussion in the next section identifies the potential to extend the bicycle lanes further east on the corridor from Mason Headley Road to Oxford Circle. However, east of Oxford Circle the roadway cross section is too narrow to support the inclusion of bicycle lanes or even the use of a shared lane. Therefore, it is recommended that an alternate bicycle route be identified AND improved to support cycling as a feasible transportation option through the corridor. A potential route is shown in Figure 17. This route would exit Versailles Road at Terrace View Drive and turn onto Hill View Place. From there new connections would need to be made to Heartsbrook Lane and the Addison Park trail system to Red Mile Road. This connection could serve to then access S. Limestone Street/Nicholasville Road including the University Kentucky and area hospitals.

Transit. Improvements for transit ridership have not been directly addressed, but comments collected from the Travel Survey have been forwarded to LexTran and the Lexington Area MPO to investigate additional improvements that may be made in this area.

Versailles Road Multimodal Evaluation US 60, Lexington, KY 19 IMPROVEMENTS BY SECTION Other specific improvement measures are presented below and discussed by section.

Alexandria to Mason Headley Road Overall this section of the corridor is relatively well maintained and has wider sidewalks. The existing cross section of Versailles Road from Alexandria Drive to Mason Headley is 70 feet wide and provides for a center turn lane and 5 foot bike lanes (Figure 18). This wide cross section is desirable and no changes are proposed.

Beyond corridor wide issues such as curb and sidewalk disrepair, the only specific issue noted on this section was a significant sinkhole directly adjacent to the sidewalk at a headwall. This drop-off is located directly east of the CVS pharmacy on the south side of the street.

It is recommended that the sinkhole/undercutting be fixed by extending any drainage features and backfilling the hole. (See Picture)

Versailles Road Multimodal Evaluation US 60, Lexington, KY 20 Mason Headley to Oxford Circle East of Mason Headley Road to Oxford Circle, Versailles Road narrows slightly from 70 feet to 68 feet. Currently, the roadway maintains a wide curb lane (15 feet) and wide TWLTL (14 feet). It is recommended that the traveled lanes and TWLTL be reduced to 11.5-12 feet so that bike lanes can be implemented within this section. The bike lane should begin/terminate at the traffic signal at Oxford Circle and a sharrow be placed heading into the city. The existing and proposed cross section is shown in Figures 19 and 20 below.

Other Issues.East of Mason Headley Road, an narrow median barrier consisting of bollards has been placed to prevenet vehicles from making left turns into and out of Oxford Circle as an acccess managmeent and safety improvement. It does provide the opportunity to turn left into Brandenburg Motors, which is located further away from the Mason Headley Intersection. However, it was noted by the business operators that adequate space is not given for vehicles to enter the TWLTL to access the business, leading to stoppage within the through lane. It should be noted that the placement of the median barrier was a highly desired item by area residents and was accomodated by KYTC and LFUCG.

Versailles Road Multimodal Evaluation US 60, Lexington, KY 21 It is recommended that the median barrier be removed for approximately 20 feet to allow vehicles to exit the traffic stream while entering Brandenburg Motors.

Oxford Circle to Red Mile Road/Forbes This section of Versailles Road is significantly narrower (58 feet) than the previous section. Lanes are narrower, 11-12 feet, and there is no space available for bike lanes or other facilities (Figure 21). In addition, all sidewalks in this area are narrow (4 feet) and located directly at the back of curb. The narrow lanes on the roadway combined with the close and narrow sidewalk makes for an uncomfortable walking experience within this section of roadway. It is recommended that existing lane widths be narrowed to 10.5 feet to allow for a 2.5 foot buffer at the edge of the roadway between the travel way and sidewalk. It is noted that the cross-section may vary in this area and should the available width be reduced below 58 feet, that the lane width should held at 10.5 feet reducing the buffer zone in these limited instances. The proposed cross section is shown in Figure 22. The proposed cross section is anticipated to have 2 effects; 1) it will provide a buffer between pedestrians and vehicles and 2) the narrower lanes will have a minor traffic calming effect reducing high speed traffic through the residential pedestrian area.

Delmont Drive to Red Mile Road. Through the commercial area between Delmont Drive and Red Mile Road several businesses have undefined access points and parking directly off of Versailles Road with no drive aisle separating parked and through traffic (See Picture). This lack of access control increases the likelihood of rear end and angle crashes as through traffic cannot discern where traffic will enter/exit adjacent businesses. Furthermore, this creates a hazard for pedestrians, as no differentiation is made between the travel way and sidewalk with the absence of curbing in the area.

Versailles Road Multimodal Evaluation US 60, Lexington, KY 22 It is recommended that curb and sidewalks be reconstructed in this area with the objective of clearly defining business access points. In addition, a median refuge island is recommended, as discussed above, to assist in crossing maneuvers within this area.

Versailles Road at Red Mile Road/Forbes Road. The traffic signal at Red Mile Road is a box span wire with poor visibility of signals and insufficient pedestrian accommodations. No sidewalks exist at the intersection and pedestrian push buttons are located 10-15 feet from the paved edge making them inaccessible to anyone in a wheel chair or with other disabilities (See Picture). Several foot paths are evident at the intersection.

It is recommended that the intersection of Versailles Road at Red Mile road be reconstructed with appropriate ADA compliant pedestrian acocmodations. This includes 1) sidewalks with ADA ramps, 2) accessible pedestrian pushbuttons and 3) pedestrian signal heads.

Recently a Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) project has been identified and funded by KYTC to provide these improvements at the intersection.

Versailles Road Multimodal Evaluation US 60, Lexington, KY 23 Forbes/Red Mile to Angliana Avenue The pavement width between Red Mile Road/Forbes Road and the eastern study area edge at Angliana Street is further narrowed to 44 feet. This section has four 11 foot lanes and no center turn lane. However, the south side of the street has a significant landscaped buffer between the travel way and sidewalk (Figure 23). It appears that this section was narrowed in the past to provide this buffer as the drainage structures remain at the sidewalk as opposed to the edge of the street (See Picture). This buffer and the lower vehicles speeds in the area produced by the closer spaced traffic signals and narrower cross section make walking in the area a more comfortable experience. It is also noted that no pedestrian crashes were recorded in this section.

In order to improve the section, a road diet (Figure 24) was evaluated, as documented in the Alternative Analysis section, but was considered infeasible due to the high levels of congestions that would be generated at the intersection of Red Mile/Forbes Roads.

Versailles Road Multimodal Evaluation US 60, Lexington, KY 24 Other Issues. While the south side of the Versailles Road has well defined access points and a landscaped buffer between the sidewalk and roadway, the north side of the road does not achieve this. In several instances, parking lots and access points are ill defined and blend into the roadway with no discernible curb separating the sidewalk and travel way (See Picture). This lack of access control increases the likelihood of rear end and angle crashes as through traffic cannot discern where traffic will enter/exit adjacent businesses. Furthermore, this creates a hazard for pedestrians, as no differentiation is made between the travel way and sidewalk with the absence of curbing in the area.

It is recommended that curb and sidewalks be reconstructed in this area with the objectives of clearly defining business access points and improving pedestrian delineation and protection.

Versailles Road Multimodal Evaluation US 60, Lexington, KY 25 CONCLUSIONS/RECOMMENDATIONS This study evaluated alternatives that could potentially improve modal balance and inter-connectivity within the Versailles Road Corridor from Alexandria Drive to Oliver Lewis Way. This section of roadway is one of the heaviest pedestrian and transit ridership areas within Lexington, but has some of the least amount of resources for pedestrians and cyclists. A road diet alternative was examined for the narrower cross sections of roadway from Oxford Circle to Angliana Avenue, in an attempt to provide a bike lane and increase the buffer between traffic and pedestrians. However, capacity analysis of this alternative indicated that significant backups and congestion would occur further complicating the safety performance of the roadway and leading to driver delays and inconvenience. Therefore, other spot improvement measures were identified. These are summarized below, those improvements that may be incorporated into the upcoming resurfacing project are listed separately.

 Widen sidewalks where possible  Traffic Signal Pedestrian Accommodations  Trash Pickup Practices  Raised Pedestrian Crossing Refuge Islands  Implement Access Management in commercial areas to clearly delineate driveways and access points through the installation of curbing and sidewalk  Reconstruct the intersection of Versailles Road at Red Mile Road/Forbes Road  Evaluate an alternate off-street bicycle route

Resurfacing Improvements

 Pavement Milling /Curb Reconstruction  Comprehensive sidewalk repair and maintenance  Inlet Repair  Enhanced Crosswalks  Add Bike Lanes from Mason Headley Road to Oxford Circle  Narrow lanes from Oxford Circle to Red Mile Road to provide 2.5 foot buffer

Long Term Measures. While the measures identified above can improve modal access within the corridor, more extensive measures are necessary. This study concentrated on short term solutions that would fit within the existing right of way, which only extends to 1 foot beyond the back of the existing sidewalk. Moreover, options are significantly constrained due to adjacent topography and utility lines in the area. Therefore, a long term solution should be evaluated that involves modification of these limiting factors. Long term solutions should concentrate on improving walkability, bikeability and transit service since vehicular traffic is shown to operate at an acceptable level of service and traffic demand is steady on the corridor. Therefore, improvements to the cross section should look to add 1) wider sidewalks, 2) bike lanes and 3) transit stops/pullouts.

?? none

1) There is no much buffer between the sidewalk and traffic on Versailles road once you pass Cardinal hill headed into town. I am often concerned that my truck mirrors will strike a pedestrain if I am in the right lane. 2) There are several areas along the corridor that I would not feel safe walking due to my perception of the crime rates in the area (Cardinal Valley) 3) There are no businesses along the corridor that I need to frequent and it is too far for me to walk to work. 1. Close proximity of the road to the sidewalk, and high rate of speed of drivers. 2. Messner home residents sometimes being unstable and causing a feeling of threat of safety. 1: Poor sidewalk condition 2: Sidewalks too close to roadway 3: Sidewalks not wide enough 4: Traffic drives too fast 5: Some sidewalks lacking curb cuts for the disabled All of the above as well as traffic Bad roads in certain areas Bad sidewalks, no walk signals in some places certain streets Close proximity to traffic, no buffer. Uneven and/or crumbling sidewalks. Cracked uneven sidewalks and very fast traffic too close to the sidewalks. CRIMINAL ACTS!!! Cross walks , side walks,n Crossing Difficult to cross road Do not notice, we do not walk on versailles road. DON'T HAVE ENOUGH TIME TO CROSS VERSAILLES ROAD, AT THE CROSS WALK. I AT TIMES WALK FROM OXFORS CIRCLE TO CROSS VERSAILLES ROAD. THERE NOT ENOUGH TIME. -Fast moving traffic -no barriers between sidewalk and roadway -cars often swerve to avoid potholes and uneven road surfaces Have noticed it is very busy Have you reviewed the sidewalk study that was done several years ago? The situation has only gotten worse with the neglect of government and private leaders. heavy traffic high traffic and loud high traffic flow. Sidewalks are right on the street (too close for comfort) speeding is really bad homeless people and mentally unstable people walking up and down the sidewalks on a daily basis from some of the group homes that are there. Not the women's Hope center but the other ones

I absolutely would NEVER walk this road, unless it was an emergency! The sidewalks are INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS!! Families and children/babies are constantly using these sidewalks risking their lives every day. I've seen mothers and fathers holding newborns almost being hit by reckless drivers, not to mention once seeing a child being covered by a splash of water from the puddles that constantly become a driving hazard to both pedestrians and drivers. Sidewalks are in EXTREME disrepair! Someone will be killed if safety is not made a priority! I do not walk on Versailles Road because traffic is too heavy, there is nothing within walking distance I need to visit, and the other pedestrians are questionable. I don't like crossing Parker's Mill Rd. or Alexandria on foot because drivers often don't look for pedestrians and make right turns on red without looking at the sidewalks.

Page 1 of 19 In your opinion, what are the major barriers to WALKING on the Versailles Road Corridor? (Please be as specific as possible.)

I don't walk on Versailles Rd. but driving is terrible. I work on Versailles Rd. so i travel it daily and the pot holes and roush road beats my vehicle to death!! The condition of the road needs to be fixed.

I live in the Colony and walk to Starbucks and Clamatos.. The sidewalks are an embarrassment ... i think its okay I walk in the area between New Circle Road and Parkers' Mill/Alexandria. Sidewalks are too narrow and in close proximity to traffic (widening sidewalks and/or moving them a few feet from the road would increase safety). In the winter, sidewalks are often covered with snow from clearing the roads, making for icy pedestrian conditions. There are often downed tree limbs and trash receptacles that remain on the sidewalks for several days in a row. I would say safety, in regards to crazy drivers, and criminals, bums. I would walk but lack of sidewalks and crossings It's hot and sidewalks dirty Jay walkers are hazard, sidewalks to close to versailles when it rains they get splashed. jay walking LFUCG Sanitation Leaving Herbies/Rosies in the middle of the sidewalk Mentally ill hanging out on street more crosswalks narrow and broken sidewalks no buffer between roadway and cars / sidewalk and pedestrian narrow pavement and visibility Narrow road, high vehicle speeds, low curbs, poor water drainage. no No barriers/ this area has wide sidewalks None not enough sidewalk Our sidewalks are in disrepair and need to be wider. Parts of the sidewalk are overgrown with plants/un-even pavement. Also there are a few sections where trees over-hang the sidewalk. pave the road please PEOPLE CROSSING AGAINST LIGHTS AS AT ALEXANDRIA Poor Condition of road drainage Poor condition of road drainage, poor condition of sidewalks poor road drainage poor road drainage, small sidewalks Poor seperation between walking areas and roads Poor sidewalk conditions poor sidewalks, water drainage poor water drainage questions 3, 4, 6 need "NO" options I would not walk or bike on Versailles Rd for recreational purposes / only if a necessity - the traffic is too fast & furious removing stuff on the sidewalk

Repave the road. Its falling apart (quit patching a fix) I live in winchester and drive here everyday. Versailles rd is the worst road I drive on in lexington. Winchester rd from Clark co. line is almost as bad- also needs repaved. Winchester did their side and is making lexington look bad. Safety Safety?!

(Please be as specific as possible.) safwty seemingly med dependent men & women Side walks too close to speeding traffic Sides walks not well maintained. Curbs in need of repair. Better signage for bus shelters. Lower speed limit to 35 mph to Alexandria Dr. Sidewalk is narrow and too close to street especially as fast as cars drive.

Sidewalk is so close to the road, particularly between New Circle and Parker's Mill, where cars are traveling in excess of 45mph.

Page 3 of 19 In your opinion, what are the major barriers to WALKING on the Versailles Road Corridor? (Please be as specific as possible.)

Speeding!! People drive way too fast! I see accidents every month. It is too dangerous to walk. The big problem is the sidewalk is WAY TOO CLOSE to Versailles Road - needs to be relocated back three to six feet from the roadway itself. It's a wonder more walkers aren't injured/killed. Also the sidewalk is in poor condition, as is the curb. Repairs and relocation back from the roadway are seriously needed. The crosswalks at Versailles and Red Mile Rd seems to be poorly designed (no dedicated pedestrian crosswalk lane, no crossing light, etc). The homeless population definitely would prevent me from walking Versailles Road. It is a safety issue. The lack of sidewalks to ensure pedestrian safety. The sidewalk edge and the street traffic lane edge are too close to each other. There is no safety margin for to prevent traffic to from driving over the sidewalk. The curb at points is so low that it presents no barrier between sidewalk and traffic lane. At points people can drive from traffic lane to sidewalk without even feeling a curb barrier. Additionally, the speed limit signs are not frequent enough to keep speeds in check. The sidewalk is right next to the street and walking is very worrisome with the cars so close. At times there are trash containers on the sidewalk, which is a nuisance for walkers but very dangerous for bikers. The sidewalk is super narrow and it's practically right on the road. I have two young boys and I would love it if they could walk safely or bike safely on the sidewalk, but it is too narrow. The cars go by so fast as well, and with people texting and talking on their phones going fast, with the narrow sidewalk being right there makes it feel very unsafe. The sidewalk is to close to the road for walking.

The sidewalk is very narrow -- you are very close to traffic! Often, the sidewalks are blocked with trash cans and other obstacles. I would like to walk my dog on Versailles Road, but I do not feel safe doing so, even though she is on a leash. Also, the sidewalks are uneven and in need of much repair. The sidewalk is way too close to the moving traffic. The sidewalks are in horrible shape. It feels threatening to walk so close to the fast traffic. The sidewalks are in poor shape and the garbage cans spread about the sidewalk on Thursday mornings. Vehicles on Versailles Road speed along, don't know if they travel in excess of posted speed limit, very close to the sidewalks. This is very intimidating. The sidewalks are narrow and immediatly next to often speeding traffic. The sidewalks are too close to the road along Versailles and there are too many mentally ill people walking the sidewalks and shouting obscenities and making threatening gestures. It does not fell safe to walk along Versailles Road. When I do, I carry a gun. Also, there are no sidewalks on Mason Headley. Putting sidewalks on Mason Headley would make more people get out and walk other than the thugs and the mentally ill that don't have cars. Additionally, there are too many people riding their bikes on the sidewalk which is illegal. The sidewalks are too narrow and too close to the road. The sidewalks are too narrow, uneven and too close to the road making them difficult to navigate. The traffic travels too fast and too close to the sidewalks. The sidewalks are very narrow and are directly next to the highway, making for an unsafe coniditon. At times city garbage roll carts block the sidewalks completely. Many of the sidewalks are in disrepair and make it difficult for a person with mobility challenges. The sidewalks are way too close to speeding traffic. If the sidewalks were double their current size they would be far more pedestrian friendly. the traffic of Versailles rd goes so fast and it is too dangerous to walk.

Page 4 of 19 In your opinion, what are the major barriers to WALKING on the Versailles Road Corridor? (Please be as specific as possible.)

The width or lack of, of the sidewalks. The lack of a distinctive difference between the road and sidewalk. The condition of the sidewalks in some areas. Unfortunately some of the people that walk Versailles Road. There is no median between the street and the sidewalk. It feels as if you are walking on the street...very scary! Drivers fly down the hill from downtown to Cardinal Valley, weaving in an out of lanes, and pedestrian fatalities seem inevitable. there is too much traffic and no walking side too dangerous Too much traffic traffic traffic is too fast and close to sidewalk. Rain splatters pedestrians Traffic, bad sidewalks, dangers from area at times. Traffic, people speed a lot, sidewalks are to close to the road, when we walk the traffic is just too close, sidewalks are damaged from wood ford to alexandria Traffic, sidewalks in need of repair, no safety features such as signs, not enough sheltes at bus stops. Trash and debris on sidewalk, no crossing guides trash on sidewalk and glass unlevel sidewalks Unsafe sidewalks; speeding traffic; afraid of the people also walking - dirty, unkept, bottles in their hand or in a bag Vehicles splash water on pedestrians when it rains. Water runs heavily in gutter. Sidewalks too close to road.

Vehicles, in cluding city vehicles, think they are on a speedway and yellow/red lights as well as stop signs are for everyone but them. Plus, People need to cross where they are supposed to. Very Unsafe when it rains on the road and soaks the pedestrians When it rains the water pools on the road and soaks pedestrians

Page 5 of 19 In your opinion, what are the major barriers to BIKING on the Versailles Road Corridor? (Please be as specific as possible.)

1: Auto traffic drives too fast 2: Auto traffic does not pass cyclists with enough room between vehicles an bikers. 3: Motorists not educated to "share the road" concepts. 4: Poor condition of roadway surface A lot of cars, bad road condition, no bike path Absence of bike lanes amount of traffic bad sidewalks, racing cars Bike riders not obeying traffic laws bikers crossing through traffic in front of cars etc Cars. Specifically the people driving the cars who do not share the road. Conditions of sidewalks and speed of traffic Crowded, poor sidewalk conditions Do not bike versailles rd Drains are huge and it's hard to bike around them because you need to go out in the road and traffic is always intense. Frequent potholes, no bike lanes, and very fast traffic. heavy traffic heavy traffic always 6/21/12- one light was on flash- traffic moved much faster Heavy traffic with narrow lanes (not enough room to share the road). High rate of speed of drivers, no bike lanes. high vehicle speeds, narrow road where there is no median. I am retired now but used to bike to UK. My rout was on back streets til i had to travel on Versailles Rd. to get to Red Mile. No bike lane and fast moving traffic made it nerve racking.

I bike from Alexandria to the colony and ride the side walk on the Star bucks side of the road. I am scared to bike in the road with all the traffic and there is not much pedestrian traffic on that part of the sidewalk. I would like to see bike lanes improved on side roads too that feed Versailles road. the share the lane thing on Parkers Mill doesn't work too well because the lanes are barely wide enough for a car...

I don't own a bike, but if I did I wouldn't want to ride on Versailles because of heavy,fast moving auto traffic. I think the topography along Versailles Road would make it difficult to install bike lanes. I would be too nervous to bike on Versailles Rd. I think I would probably get hit by a vehicle unless major modifications were made. I would love to ride a bike instead of driving my car to work, but I feel as though I would be committing suicide along Alexandria Drive, between Leestown and Versailles Road. impatient, speeding drivers, lack of driving distance between cars and cyclists, no bike lanes Lack of bike lanes Lack of bike lanes. Uneven roads, small sidewalks. Lack of bike paths, and the ones that do exist (namely between Village Dr and Mason Headley seem randomly placed, and end abruptly and dangerously. Biking on the sidewalk is difficult do to its poor condition, not to mention it is technically prohibited. Lanes are mostly narrow, pavement is bad in places, lots of cars and trucks driving fast Lanes not wide enough for bikes make bike training certain streets making ones walking move off sidewalk Must bike in main traffic lanes. Speed of cars on the road. Narrow and debris filled outer lanes. Impatient drivers; disregard for sharing the roadway. Narrow bike lanes or narrow shoulders Need a bicycle lane need bike lanes need bike paths on roadway needs bike lane

Page 6 of 19 In your opinion, what are the major barriers to BIKING on the Versailles Road Corridor? (Please be as specific as possible.) no bicycle lane... no bicycle lanes, very busy road no bike lane no bike lane no bike lane No bike lane, but more importantly, the sides of the road next to the curb are not in good condition for biking. Nails, screws, trash and other debris, along with small potholes and other road breaks make for an eventful experience. No bike lane, heavy traffic, roads in disrepair No bike lane, inconsiderate drivers, drains one might fall into, speeding traffic no bike lane, narrow two lane car lanes, speed of traffic no bike lane, speed of traffic NO BIKE LANE. NO SAFE SIDEWALKS. SIDEWALK REPAIR NEEDED. SIDEWALK AND TRAFFIC ARE TOO CLOSE. no bike lanes No bike lanes No bike lanes or bike lanes too narrow and close to speeding traffic and driveways. Road extremely uneven and with dangerous holes! NO BIKE LANES! Lots of potholes, speed limit not enforced.

No bike lanes, storm water drains make it dangerous to ride near the curb, drains are not flush with the grade of the pavement,also the traffic lanes are to narrow for a car and a bicycle to share at the same time No bike path. No room No room, fast traffic, people wandering abt that don't always appear to b fully aware no space, no safety no space, not safe No way in hell would I ride on street, too many illegals with no insurance, driving down street, a lot of hit and runs None not enough room Not enough space for a safe biking lane and traffic at 40 mph is hazardous. Open-Ended Response Other drivers don't have as many signs informing them of bikers on roadway Poor driver awareness, separation via bike lanes, road quality Potholes, rough surfaces, glass (infrequently cleaned) Rough Surfaces Safety, it is a good place to get run over on a bike. See # 5 Sewer depressions, no bike lanes sidewalk space wear and tear sidewalks in poor condition and too close to road.. Sidewalks to close to road in certain areas sidewalks, bikeline Speeding, no way i would bike. Taking your life in your own hands. Street needs to be repaved. More bike lanes needed. Street sweeping to remove frequent debris Super busy, no bike lanes, no turning lanes The bike lane doesn't go all the way to town. Furthermore, there is no bike lane or sidewalk on Mason Headley, and the road is too narrow to bike safely. Mason-Headley is a major thoroughfare between Versailles and s. Broadway. I know this survey isn't about Mason-Headley, but it needs to be made safe for both walkers and bikers. If it was, I could bike to my job at UK.

Page 7 of 19 In your opinion, what are the major barriers to BIKING on the Versailles Road Corridor? (Please be as specific as possible.)

The bike lane ends after Mason Headley, and the traffic goes really fast. The sidewalk is so narrow and it is so close to the road. The horrible conditions of the road!!! The lack of bike lanes is the biggest issue. The portions of the corridor that have bike lanes are much more suitable for bike travel. the people with guns that will shoot you and take your bike! The roadway is too narrow for biking, even with a bike lane added. Also, traffic is too heavy in volume and traveling at a high rate of speed. Biking on Versailles Road is foolhardy, in my opinion. The sidewalks are in poor shape and the garbage cans spread about the sidewalk on Thursday mornings. Vehicles on Versailles Road speed along, don't know if they travel in excess of posted speed limit, very close to the sidewalks. This is very intimidating. There aren't any bike lanes. THERE IS NO BIKE LANE!!!!! I ride on the sidewalk because the traffic feels so dangerous, but this is problematic for pedestrians. The sidewalks are narrow, uneven, and often blocked with trash cans and other obstacles. There is no SAFE way to walk or bike on Versailles Rd. There needs to be a biking lane down versailles rd for the bikers, safety is a concern for them plus bikes hold up traffic. Thanks! They don't share the road. too dangerous Too much traffic traffic traffic traffic Traffic Traffic and bad road conditions and bad sidewalks too. Traffic coming off New Circle can be heavy Traffic on Versailles Road is busy and, in my opinion, unsafe for bikers. Traffic volume and no bike path traffic, no shoulder or bike path, garbage bins in road on and after tarsh days traffic/dangerous traffic

-Uneven road surfaces (potholes, storm sewers protrusions onto road bed) -No bike lane -Speeding Vehicles unsure Versailles Road is a major artery into Lexington and biking is not the best or safest means of transportation on it. volume of traffic and no bike lanes We need a dedicated and maintained bike lane in each direction. you have to ride on the road you have to ride on the road

Page 8 of 19 In your opinion, what are the major barriers to BUS usage on the Versailles Road Corridor? (Please be as specific as possible.)

7am bus overcrowded most times standing room only. Bike Lane bus does not come as frequently as I need Bus does not go far enough out Versailles Rd. It should go at least as far as Viley, and to the airport at regularly scheduled intervals. Bus is always late and too crowded.... not dependable Bus should go to Viley buses are never on time, people intoxicated on the bus and transit center buses end running too early on sunday Cambridge is to small for buses. OR need no parking on cambridge street crowded Crowded/Poor side walk conditions Dangerous sidewalks. Splashing water onto waiting passengers. distance to closest stop. Does not pick me up on Winchester Rd toward Winchester. During Rupp Arena events, the buses often skip the section of High near Rupp without notice, and my main stop is overlooked. Bus schedules (especially inbound) are totally unreliable.

I could see a bus used as rapid transit between Lexington and Versailles with very few stops along the way. I don't think we have barriers I feel we should not wait another hour if miss 2 bus. I think it is dangerous on Versailles Road. I do not feel safe standing at a bus stop.

I work at UK. To get to work at UK I would have to transfer at Red Mile. The bus that goes down Red Mile arrives at Versailles road before the bus on Versailles Rd. I then would have to wait 30 minutes. I can walk it in that time. Infrequent bus service. infrequent stops its always late or early, they are covered with trash at the stops Its very crowded on the bus Lack of bus shelters, bus benches Lots of people N/A NA need more crosswalks never on time, no buses between oxford circle and village drive. Sundays stop running too early. no barriers no bus pull-off from the lanes of traffic no bus service between oxford and village drive. sundays they shut down too early no bus service between oxford and village drive. the bus service stops running to early no buses between oxford circle and village dr. Sundays buses stop too early no buses between oxford circle and village drive and sundays stop too early no busses between oxford and village. Sunday busses stop too early No direct routes to my destination. not enough buses, at close times for work hours (7-3) Not enough stops. Stops with no shelters. Frequency of buses and connections to other routes. not enough times it stops not frequent enough. no direct route to UK not wide enough sidewalks On sundays bus service stops way too early. The versailles road bus is always packed! They should run every 30 min. always One of the busiest buses and is is very crowded. Need larger or more frequent busses Open-Ended Response

Page 9 of 19 part of the road ar rough on the bus People being afraid to wait on the side of the road because of dangerous conditions poor road conditions poor road conditions poor road conditions, shrubbery blocks view of the bus coming Safety concerns. Same as all over town, buses do not run often enough, are not utilized enough to go where needed and when needed...it is a which came first the chicken or the egg question to me...and part of the issue is that Lexington is set up in a spoke fashion and not a grid.... See #5. since I don't ride the bus, I can't comment on this Sunday Bus Schedules takes too long The bus system has been and is perceived as unreliable for consistent timely transport. The designated bus stop locations the wait, the route. the cost there are no barriers to bus usage There are no barriers to using the bus, other than the lack of good quality bus stop locations far enough back from the roadway to be safe. they only come once an hour past 6:30 and the versialles rd bus is always crowded and we could benefit from a bus running every 35 minutes they shut down too early on Sunday too crowded too crowded, no buses between oxford circle and village drive, shut down too early on Sundays Too many stops in close proximity to one another. When buses stop to pickup passengers traffic backs up, buses performed several functions such as lowering the bus ,loading and unloading wheelchairs and bicycles causing traffic to back up. Bus pull in lanes should be design for more safe use of the bus Would like to see better paces to wait for buses. Most stop have at best a bench. Would not know

Page 10 of 19 What are your top three recommendations for improving WALKING and BIKING and TRANSIT on the Versailles Road Corridor? (Please be as location-specific as possible.)

1 Enforcement of present speed limits 2 Restruction of roadway from newtown to alexandria, incorporating bike lanes and sidewalk medians for pedestrians. 3 Pedestrian crossing areas clearly marked at traffic signals. 1) Properly repave the road, especially from Mason Headley to Oliver Lewis (actually to Rose St)! 2) Widen the sidewalks and curbs. 3) Lower the speed limit from Mason Headley to Red Mile Rd. 4) Regular cleaning of the road. 1. Install bike lanes 2. Position sidewalk farther from busy road 1. provide safer, wider, nicer sidewalks with setback from the roadway. a. better sidewalks for walking with dog, my dog is nervous on the part of our walk along Versailles b. I see many other pedestrians along Versailles "j-walk" across the busy road and I worry for their safety. 2. provide marked bike lane if possible 3. provide deterance for cars to speed or run red lights along Versailles

1. Widen sidewalks 2. Move sidewalks further from the vehicle traffic (speed limits in this area are appropriate for drivers, but not for adjacent sidewalks) 3. Repair broken concrete/grass growing in the sidewalks. 1. Beautify the roadway by constructing medians with trees and grass where the center lane is unnecessary. 2. Widen the sidewalks 3. Enforce littering ang J-walking laws. 1. CRACK DOWN ON JAY WALKING BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HIT AND KILLED. 2. Use the barrier system like the on at Rosemont and Harrodsburg Roads to prevent turning when there is no turn lane, such as in front of Cardinal Hill Hospital. 3. Crackdown on people using the parking lots at the intersection of Alexandria Drive and Versailles Road (also Parkers Mill and Oxford Circle) as turn lanes and cut throughs to avoid waiting their turn at the light. 1. dont do it 2. dont do it 3. dont do it anywhere , drive or have someone drive you. 1. Fix the road! 2. Fix the road! 3. Fix the road! 1. Fix the sidewalks 2. Make a safe crossing at Viley Rd. 3. Make crossings so there are no right turns when the walk buttons are pushed. Cars do not stop for pedestrians. 1. Widen and repair sidewalks 2. Slower speed limits 3. Pedistrian crosswaks at loctions that are not signalled (Between Delmont and Terrace View) 1. Wider side walks 2. Bicycle lanes 3. Improved traffic signal locations 1: Slow traffic, implement traffic calming measures 2: Reconstruct sidewalks to be higher off road and wider 3: would love to have bike lanes but road bed does not seem wide enough to permit this? A bike lane would increase the number of bike commuters and encourage others to start. A flashing yellow light near the entrance to the Colony to slow eastbound traffic. A more direct bus route from the Gardenside district to the UK campus.

A sidewalk from Parterre Place to Versailles Rd would encourage walking on the Versailles Road Corridor. I would like to be able to stroll my grandson down the street but it is too dangerous without a sidewalk. Add a bike lane to Versailles Road Repair/widen sidewalks Enforce laws about jaywalking, blocking sidewalks, etc Add bike lanes to remaining portion that does not have them. Repave the entire stretch of Versailles Road from Parkers Mill to Oliver Lewis. Provide frequent street sweeping. All sidewalks should at least be redone, if not widened and moved further from the road. Bike paths should extend all the way to downtown. Bus stops (especially the high traffic ones) could use an indicator or when the next bus should arrive. better bus times Better quality, planning, making space explicitly marked for ped and cyclist use better side walk, widen the road for car and bike, more turn line, mark center line Between Alexandria Dr. and Bennett Ave the Sidewalks but be widened, bike lanes added, roads leveled and repaired, LOWER SPEED LIMIT!!!! Bigger bus, half-hour Sunday gap Bigger sidewalks, bus lanes Bike lane Through bus to UK wider sidewalks

Damaged sidewalks- fix or repair more crosswalks bigger sidewalks. Buses should not run early- be on time.

Decreasing speed, redo the road to get bike paths, and have a something between the sidewalk and the road. Maybe have the lights like Nicholasville road where in the morning more lanes are going into town and in the evening more lanes are going out of town. The Messner home residents may be harmless, but they appear to be very threatening and when you walk by them and they are fighting with something that isn't there, it can be very scary. You never know when and if they may turn on you as a pedestrian. designated bike lanes, pedestrian facilities that encourage usage, designated transit stops at accessable locations. Difficulty during commute hours in accessing Versailles Rd due to heavy traffic often backed up at ill-timed stop lights at Parker's Mill and Alexandria. Additionally, cars speeding west in the late afternoon once past those two lights make crossing onto Versailles extremely dangerous. double stacked busses open later new sidewalks more cross walks enlarge sidewalks Extend the bike lane all the way to downtown. Improve Mason-Headley to make it safe for both bikers and walkers. That means a bike lane and sidewalks. Fix sidewalk and bus routes come on time, never later or early. Double stack buses, more crosswalks. Fix sidewalks, make a bike area too. I know several people who have been injured walking on Versailles rd, badly! Fix the numerous pot holes from Bluegrass Parkway to Broadway Pave the road from Bluegrass Parkway to New Circle Road and then again from Alexandria all the way to broadway. Improve the bridge at Newtown Pike extension. fix the roads! tears up the care- bridge- pot holes Friday Bus come 5 minutes later

Get the LFUCG to stop pushing all of the low income housing and special needs housing into the area and do something about the slum lords stacking 6 to 12 people into 1 bedroom apartments. We have more than our share of this kind of housing. Versailles Road is supposed to be the gateway to Lexington! Its the road that gets you to Bluegrass Airport, Keeneland and the world famous horse farms that lead Lexington to declare itself the Horse Capital of the World. This "gateway" is an eyesore and leaves a very bad first impression on those flying in to Lexington. There are dozens of businesses along Versailles and Alexandria that have only their business name in Spanish. This isn't Mexico so require businesses to at least put their name in English as well. I would like to know what kind of businesses are in my neighborhhood and I shouldn't have to learn Spanish to find out. Having more buisness that bring more foot traffic (cafes, small shops, etc) would bring more volume of people and cars would then be more aware I do not think biking is feasible on the Versailles Road Corridor due to the speed of traffic and not enough room for a biking lane. I think the bus stop placements encourage jaywalking. As we have seen by the spike in pedestrian deaths in recent months, jaywalking has become a major concern in Lexington. Why aren't the bus stops placed at the stoplights where there is a crosswalk? The worst area for jaywalking, that I have noticed, is on Versailles Road in between Mason Headley and Red Mile Road. I travel via personal auto daily from downtown and frequently straddle (when safe to do so) the center line (white line) due to the condition of the road surface. Improve drainage from Hope Ctr. to Red Mile- extend sidewalk width

Improve drainage off road from Oxford Circle to Pine Street. Cut back trees and shrubbery from sidewalks from Oxford Circle to Heartsbrook Rd. Create bus lane for bus stop at Preakness Apts and Delmar Ln. Improve drainage off road from Oxford Circle to Pine Street. Cut back trees and shrubbery from sidewalks from Oxford Circle to Heartsbrook Rd. Repair sidewalks from Oxford Circle to Pine Street. Improve drainage, cut back trees Improve the pavement improve transit Improvement of the roadway and sidewalks. increase lanes and visibility, reduce speed It is a safety issue. You have cars zipping along and after New Circle, the road widens into another lane on either side. Versailles Road is not conducive to leisurely strolls and bike riding. It is extremely dangerous where the lane ends by Keenland. The lane feeds into the middle lane. Cars try to run other cars off the road when their lane ends. They often speed up and go so fast to get in the other lane that they might cause an accident. There is a lot of speeding near Keenland. Possibly the police need to monitor this area. Lack of right hand turnoffs from the main thru traffic lanes timing of solid waste pick-up. Lack of planning of the bike lanes. Starting, ending loctions. longer bus times (later times) they stop running too early. New sidewalks, longer sidewalk away from the road Make a bike lane all the way up, widen the sidewalk and make more distance between the road and the sidewalk. The location is excellent being so close to the city, but it doesn't feel welcoming or safe. I feel like the area would be so much more valuable to people and attract more families if there was a safe path around and it was a clearer path into town or university. make bike lane, make sidewalks bigger, more cross walks More bike lanes Better sidewalks More police presents, street lights in areas that need, like Versailles and New Circle more police pressure too dangerous, bike lanes, improve sidewalks More space between sidewalks& traffic. A wide bike lane. more than 1 bus, bugger buses, more crosswalks More visible walking lanes, walk buttons, bike lanes

Page 13 of 19 What are your top three recommendations for improving WALKING and BIKING and TRANSIT on the Versailles Road Corridor? (Please be as location-specific as possible.)

Most likely impossible, but there needs to be a 5 ft division between the street and the sidewalk. Move the sidewalk back away from the roadway six feet and widen the sidewalk itself. Rebuild the curbs - they are crumbling and a dangerous. Install covered, quality bus stops back away from the roadway AFTER the sidewalk is relocated back six feet from the roadway. Do there things for the entire length of Versailles Road - from Maxwell Street out to at least Parker's Mill Road. Few people are going to walk any further out (West) on Versailles Road. need more crosswalks needs bike lane. need more bus stops. need bus route through dunkirk drive area of cardinal valley. Closest route is cambridge drive which can be almost 3/4 mile for some New blacktop between Oliver Lewis way to Bennett Ave. Turning area onto Forbes Rd, for large trucks, not wide enough new sidewalk or repair. Buses needed not to be early. More cross walks new sidewalks or repair damaged ones bus route to come on time. more crosswalks new sidewalks or repair damaged ones, add cross walks, buses to come on time (not early) new sidewalks, better bus schedule new sidewalks, bigger sidewalks, more crosswalk New sidewalks, or repair damaged ones. Buses should be on time or lane, never early! no parking on cambridge dr. Bike paths on versailles road Not as many stop lights so there wouldn't be as much traffic visible bike lanes Open-Ended Response Pave roads. Clearly marked bike lanes. Enforcement of bike lanes, police officers should monitor for drivers who swerve into bike lanes. People are going to speed given this is a major thoroughfare. A very dangerous place for everyone is the outlet/entrance to The Colony @ Colonial Dr. Cars are flying ... changing lanes ... coming & going to Cir 4 exits + all this traffic movement is intersected by vehicles coming from Viley Rd onto Versailles Rd headng east. It's scary! Police should patrol the area on Versailles Road between Forbes Road and Mason Headley. put up guardrails for pedestrians, set lower speed limit Reblacktop the road Fix the potholes so its smoother redo sidewalks Reduce speed limit enforce it more police patrolling, showing more presence -Repair and add a multiple use lane -clean more oftne Repair or add sidewalks, add bus shelters and bus benches, add bike lanes

Repair side walks and curbs. Lower speed limit to 35 mph and hope no one goes over 40 mph. Better signage for bus stops with upgrade shelter. Without a bike path it would be to dangerous to consider biking. Repave road. The road is in awful condition, it's a shame considering that this is the road taken by visitors who choose to stay downtown to get to the airport, keeneland, etc. You cannot drive over 100yards before there is either a pothole, or some major bump in the road. This is the main corridor for airport, keeneland, BG pkway, etc. REPAVE the road Resurface over the gas line patches. Eliminate sewer wells. Erect guard rails on sidewalks to protect pedestrians from traffic. Resurface the road-fix potholes and keep road repaired. Road needs to be repaved with biking lanes, higher curbs for safer pedestrian travel, and improved water drainage. Sidewalk repairs, safety concerns, no bike lane. Lots of debris on roadway. sidewalks arw right on the road needs a buffer area Sidewalks on both sides of the street Sidewalks, dangerous turn lanes, heavy speeding traffic. sidewalks, Viley crossing, and bus stop too far away

Page 14 of 19 What are your top three recommendations for improving WALKING and BIKING and TRANSIT on the Versailles Road Corridor? (Please be as location-specific as possible.)

Slow speed limits, improve sidewalks. Smooth the holes, fix the road The sidewalk ends at viley road. It would be much better if this sidewalk was extended to connect to the sidewalks at Partierre place. Second thing is the amount of people that makes U-turns at the interesection of Viley and Versailes road. This makes for unsafe conditions of pedestrian and cyclists. Signage and enforcement would greatly help this situation. The street need to be was there is no hole in it. There should be either a stop light at Viley and Versailles or make U Turn illegal at this intersection. Turning lanes is a priority widen sidewalk, need bike paths, please fix roads Widen sidewalks Create bike lanes More bus shelters Widen the road more side walk space, bike lane Widen the Versailles Road so there is more space between the sidewalk and the vehicles. Improve the quality of the sidewalks, there are many areas where the sidewalk is in bad shape. Do something to improve the situation with garbage cans on the sidewalk on Thursday mornings! Please figure out a way to get cars to slow down while driving on Versailles Road. Finally, Versailles Road needs new pavement. If we could get the homes and businesses to take better care of what is seen from Versailles Road, that would be nice. There is a run down look for many homes and businesses, which sends a message that people who live and work there don't care what happens. Wider sidewalks Wider sidewalks with green space between sidewalk and road, higher curbs. Wide bike lanes along ENTIRE corridor. Slow speed limit to 35 to entire corridor and ENFORCE speed limit. Wider, safer sidewalks. Get bums off streets Enforce speed limits wider/safer sidewalks reduce speed limit bike paths all the way downtown wish something would be done to Parker's Mill to facilitate safe walk and bike.

1. The "poles" by the left turn lane on Versailles Road going to Mason Headley NEED to be replaced! I have personally almost been hit twice in the past month by other cars who are trying to turn on to Oxford Circle (across from Cardinal Hill). 2. People are not using crosswalks when walking across Versailles Road, especially in the Oxford Circle to Woodford Drive area. 3. The lighting also needs to be brighter so drivers can see these people who are crossing in the middle of Versailles Road in the dark. a lot of the bus drivers are rude and disconcerting Absolutely the MOST UNSAFE ROAD IN LEXINGTON in one of the most diverse and populated areas Do not let it take someones death (adult of child) before action is taken. AGAIN...how many pedestrians have been hit in the last month in Lexington? Most all, if not all, brought it upon themselves by walking out into traffic. I have no sympathy for them I feel sorry for the law-abiding drivers that have to live with those deaths the rest of their life. The city is repaving Beaumont Centre Parkway. Why can't we get the area between Newtown Pike extended and the Oxford Circle smoothed out at least a little. Going on and off the viaduct will just about bust a tire. Alexandria and Versailles intersection needs a light. Buisness- no walkers, hikers, or bus riders Buisness- no walkers, hikers, or bus riders Cars speed both directions between New Circle and Parkers Mill light. Inbound cars making U-turns at Viley Road is hazardous. Consider either light rail or LexTran as a rapid transit connection between Lexington and Versailles. Provide commuter parking near bus or rail terminals. Fewer lights or more lights on caution. The side streets have low traffic Fix the hole in the road! from bridge down to new circle, road needs major fixing Greater enforcement on speed patrol. In and outbound cars travel well over the speed limit on Versailles Road, making it impossible for cars on secondary roads to enter onto Versailles Road. Have people stop jay-walking on versailles rd! I am blind and use a seeing eye dog. It is not always safe to cross the streets because drivers ignore the rights of a blind pedestrian and service dog. Walking is not an option. It is the sole way I travel on Versailles Rd from my house. Please install blind pedestrian area signs inbound and outbound between Viley and Alexandria. Thank you. I drive where I need to go. VERSAILLES ROAD is not a safe place to walk.

I find the condition of the road surface to be very poor in spots, particularly around the viaduct. At times I feel that it is so poor I have a difficult time keeping control of my vehicle. I also think the running of stop lights on the corridor is a problem that is a top priority. I have voiced this to police on several occasions, and have gotten no where with it. With seemingly little patrol in our areas, and stoplight patrol on the bottom of priorities, I can understand where this would not be a priority. But when I almost get t-boned several times a week routinely trying to get to work pulling off my street, because of wreckless drivers, I find it alarming.

I have lived near the Versailles Road Corridor my entife life, 50+ years, and know the corridor well. I see a huge need to upgrade the sidewalks for accessiblity, particularly for those individuals utilizing wheelchairs or other types of mobility devices. The corridor has a tremendous amount of pedistrians that use the corridor everyday, usually not for exercise, but to get to work, school, shopping and appointments. Many people speak about sustainability, but continue to get in their vehicles and drive to their destinations. The pedistrian along Versailles Road are there because it is their only form of transportation. Versailles Road is a major corridor into our city and needs attention not only for pedistrians but to increase the impression for those visiting our city entering from the airport, Kenneland and the Bluegrass Parkway. I have lost count of the accidents I have seen. These have been injury accidents. People drive too fast! I have been rear-ended which waiting to make a turn. I have seen cars run the red light at Hamilton park on numerous occasions, and usually going over the speed limit. Due to the potholes, mutliple unpaved surfaces at night the sound of trucks is very loud. I work here! I live here! I vote here! I pay taxes here! I'm curious what inspired this survey: accidents, injuries, access to services/merchants?

It's falling apart. You can Only patch it so many times. Lanes need to be widened.

Main drag coming into town and looks like crap---it should be a priority to improve the road---calm the traffic even if it costs drivers a minute or two getting in and out of town. Make it worth their while to slow down. mark turn line, mark centerline Need more traffic lights more strategically spaced. Need paving more often and repairs kept up. Need to slow down between red mile and angliana Open-Ended Response Pave roads, enforce speed limit. please black to the street on versailles rd. please work on repaving this road the street condition is horrible Pull-in areas for LexTran buses would be welcomed. Jaywalking as a result of LexTran use is a BIG problem. I am completing this on-line before sending out to my email list just to test the system! Thanks for your efforts on this project!! - Paula Singer, Chair Friends of Versailles Road

Residents who live on Versailles Rd should be required to keep hedges trimmed to improve visibility (difficult to see oncoming traffic when turning left from Viley Rd onto Versailles Rd due to overgrown hedges). Would recommend placing a "No U-Turn" sign on inbound lanes of Versailles Rd at Viley Rd. Multiple accidents occur at this intersection, some of which are due to drivers making U-Turns on Versailles Rd. Somebody is going to get killed on Versailles Road because many people don't use the crosswalks and they stand in the center turning lane. This is especially dangerous at night. Get some cops out there to write some tickets for this. Something needs to be done to address the illegal jaywalking...although there have been several incidents around town within the past few weeks, no artery has a bigger problem than Versailles Rd. has...there are too many jaywalkers and too many incidents where they stop in the middle turn lanes or even walk directly in the path of cars...it's only a matter of time until there is a tragic accident speeding The area between red mile rd and downtown is horrible The entrance into beautiful Lexington from The airport is an embarrassment. It was landscaped for the equestrian games and maintained and now looks as if it has been forgotten.... I would think the initial investment to landscape was the main expense... Can anything be done to get the maintenance of this area back on track? I am speaking of the areas near the new circle ramp off versailles rd. The goverment (or someone) seems to like to make large holes in Versailles Rd, but not repairs. The major hurdles are the pavement conditions of the road. It is the worst main road in the entire city. For some reason it was grated out in some sectoins and left like that about 6 months ago. It is an embarrasment that many of the people from the Louisville area and those traveling from the south (I-65) have to come into Lexington on that road. It needs attention now. The most dangerous for us that live on Versailles Rd. is the turn onto New Circle (outer loop). Wish something could be done there to increase safety for motorists.

The numerous pot holes need fixing- there need to be camers set- the city could make a fortune just getting people who go through red lights but mainly it may detour people from running them- plus people nee to be cited for jaywalking they do this ALL the time running ro walking right out into the oncoming traffic- I work here 6 days a week and used to live in the area. It's not just the hispanic as those prejudice like to say and not just the people with special needs- women and men with small chileren will come right out in front of you and even at 35 mph its hard to avoid them plus the traffic behind you. Seriously this is a danger if the people think they'll get a citation maybe it'll curb it a little- I'Ve watched police see this happen and never do a thing- something needs to be done. The road is horrible! I hate driving on it because it is so rough and bumpy. You would think it would've been fixed b/c it is so well traveled. The road needs repairs now please!

The turn arrows near Westgate need to be repositioned. West bound traffic gets in the turn lane for a left turn into aparments long before they are near turning making it dangerous for those of us east bound turning left onto Westgate. Many times I have been stopped, with blinkers on, to make a turn into Westgate, when cars come flying down the hill in the turn lane and barely avoid hitting me. I've been cussed, given the finger and yelled at because they think I am in the wrong..

There are a lot of pot holes and bumps and the state needs to maintain the corridor better. Be sure all side walks are maintained and have the ramps for intersection and are wide enough for bike and pedestrian traffic. There are a lot of potholes on Versailles Rd. that need attention. My car was damages earlier in the year because of this. There are excessive amounts of J-walkers crossing versailles road too and from the area between Westgate Dr. and The Oxford Circle Entry. There needs to be better access to New Circle road from outbound Versailles Rd. The left turn lane at peak times of the day can be backed up into the through-traffic lane and take 10-15 minutes just to make the turn. Vehicles heading inbound appear to be traveling well in excess of the speed limit, which continues until they reach Parker's Mill. Have a turn signal would cause those vehicle to slow down, even if that signal was only active during peak times 7-9 am and 4-6 pm. These improvements are many years overdue! Let's get on with upgrading this important corridor. This is a major gateway to the city from Keeneland, the ariport, the interstate and the parkway that should at a minimum be maintained and clean with accessible and usable bike lanes and sidewalks. Two large adults should be able to pass one another without having to move aside. There should be no narrow grass/weed strip between the sidewalk and the street to be maintained/neglected. Too many people jay walk and I see someone every day come close to getting hit. Versailles corridor could still use more greenery/beautification Versailles is the worst road (condition) that I drive in Lexington. Pot holes are no longer fixable by repair. It would not be beneficial if the city would repave. Versailles rd and its neighborhood residents would give up their vehicles more often and turn to alternative transportation methods with smart improvements to the infrastructure required to permit these activities to occur. Would also like to see aesthetic improvements. Versailles Rd is a gateway into downtown for the visitors from the airport and keeneland and should be treated with beautification and multi-use facilities. The corridor is an area that curretnly has many bikers and peds and these uses should be accomidated Versailles Rd. by the PDQ, horse building on rt over the bridge is very messed up. Versailles Road between Red Mile Road and Oliver Lewis Way needs to be repaved. Versailles road bus is always crowded you have to stand a lot.

Versailles Road improvements to median, i.e. plantings put in prior to World Games are still viable and important but no one is maintaining. Miniature rose plantings need to be weeded and tended to. Thank you!

Versailles Road would be more aesthetically pleasing if the medians were returned with greenspace on them. Versailles Rd is currently not safe. Versailles Rd Corridor is a 'broken window' for Lexington. Clean-up and limit the amount of section-eight housing. Open a police station in Cardinal Valley and return Shannon! Versailles Road, specifically as it approaches High Street, is a mess and needs to be repaved. Versialles rd from red mile toward downtown to oliver lewis way is the work road in lexington and needs repairs badly. we should not wait 45 minutes to 1 hr for 2 bus. WHAT ABOUT THE DANGER TO THE PEOPLE WHO ARE TRYING TO EXIT VILEY TO GET ON VERSAILLES RD? VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION,WHICH SHOULD HAVE BEEN ADDRESSED LONG AGO. ACCIDENTS HAVE ALREADY OCCURRED. AND NOT MANY PAY ATTENTION TO THE SPEED LIMIT ON VILEY, CAUSING MORE DANGER TO RESIDENTS, CHILDREN, PETS. When going thru intersection at Forbes Rd from Forbes it is very difficult to see traffic on Versailles Rd in both directions.

Why don't the re-surface the road from Rupp Arena all the way to Versailles at Red Mile Rd. It dosen't make any sense the condition that tis roadies in. I know, I travel this bumpy Rd everyday. The city should reimburse people after we have to get our vehicles re-aligned.. Shameful! Why should I believe that anything will be done now? Historically, the Versailles Road stretch from New Circle Road to downtown has been neglected shamefully by decision makers.
