Install iconic rural fencelines around major greenways and creeks to enhance their natural beauty.
As Horse Capital of the World, horse farm style plank fences have become part of the cultural landscape of the Lexington Bluegrass region. Large portions of the major greenways are owned and maintained by LFUCG, and efforts should be expanded to incorporate horse farm style plank fences. The public should also explore partnership opportunities for other privately managed greenway areas to maintain Lexington’s identity.
