The GRA acts to represent the interests of Greenbrier Residents in dealing with local government entities, public utilities, nearby land owners and property developers. A recent list of such entities and organizations includes:
- Lexington Fayette Urban County Council
- LFUCG Planning Commission
- LFUCG Traffic Engineering
- Kentucky Highway Department, District 7
- Kentucky Utilities
Opposition by the GRA played a role in halting construction of a proposed “vineyard” – wine tasting – outdoor concert venue on US 60 near Walnut Grove.
While it is not possible to halt development in our area, efforts by the GRA have resulted in the reduced density of developments and the set aside of green space.
The GRA negotiated the first Neighborhood Development Overlay in Lexington. Other neighborhoods have since followed suit. A disturbing trend in our nation is the bulldozing of older homes and the subdivision of property into smaller parcels. NDOs insure that will not happen in Greenbrier. If the owner of the golf course chooses to redevelop their property, they must adhere to the the NDO standards to preserve the unique character of our neighborhood.
The GRA negotiated the closing of Walnut Grove Lane to through traffic, with a subsequent decrease in traffic flow through Greenbrier. A new elementary school is scheduled to open near the intersection of Deer Haven and Polo Club in 2015. Imagine what the traffic impact would be like without this closing.
