LEXINGTON, Ky. (LEX 18) — Lexington's newly formed Street Safety Task Force is working to address immediate road safety issues through quick, cost-effective solutions while the city's longer-term Complete Streets Policy takes shape.

The task force, led by Vice Mayor Dan Wu was created in January. It focuses on three main areas: engineering, education and enforcement.

The group is set to release its first report this fall.

"This task force is really tasked to come up with some short term solutions," Wu said.

The initiative represents a shift from waiting for major infrastructure overhauls to implementing immediate fixes that can be tested and modified as needed.

"When it comes to engineering we're thinking about things like quick builds, short term fixes," Wu said.
