-
Added Winchester Turnpike from downtown Lexington to the eastern border of Fayette County. The first Clark County record of the road is from 1838, but 1835 map of Lexington shows it so I'm assuming it already existed by then.
-
Adjusted the completion date for the Lexington & Frankfort R.R. and extended it from Midway to Lexington.

Added Cox Street as well as Oliver Lewis Way which eventually superseded it.
-
Expanded Lexington street network based on 1835 town map by John Lutz.

Reclassified original Lexington streets as minor roads.

Updated downtown streets to ensure continuity with the turnpikes connecting Lexington to other towns. The streets were built first and the turnpikes were built later.

-
Added Triangle Park, popular downtown Lexington park with cascading fountains.

Lexington's second tallest building, built 1973-1979. 22 stories, 101 meters. Despite the name, it is only one tower.
