LEXINGTON, Ky. (ABC36 NEWS NOW) – Lexington is asking residents to weigh in on how accessible the city’s parks and public facilities are for people with disabilities as officials prepare a new Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Transition Plan.

The city will host a public meeting at 6 p.m. on Wednesday, Dec. 3, at the Lexington Senior Center, located at 195 Life Lane. City staff will review ADA requirements, talk about why community feedback matters, and hear directly from residents about accessibility concerns and priorities.

A transition plan helps a city identify physical barriers that limit access for people with disabilities and then phase in improvements over time. Officials say public input will help the city decide which projects and locations should be prioritized.

During the meeting, the city plans to:

Review key ADA requirements for parks and facilities
Discuss the importance of community feedback in setting improvement priorities
Share observations of access barriers at local parks and public buildings
Gather input about residents’ access preferences and priorities

Residents can also share their thoughts through an anonymous online survey. The city says the survey link is available through its ADA Transition Plan information online.

Registration is requested for those planning to attend the public meeting. To sign up, residents can contact Roger Daman at 859-288-2979 or email rdaman@lexingtonky.gov.
