The Fayette County School District announced another snow day for Tuesday (Feb. 3) due to slick roads near schools and bus routes in Lexington. After more than a week of rough and slick roads, Lexington residents continue to share their frustrations.
This includes in the area of Pepperhill Road, a rank three road, that runs by Julius Marks Elementary School.
“This is one of the two main (bus) routes into Julius Marks Elementary,” said Margaret Parsons, who lives near the school. “Actually from Chinoe Rd. all the way around is a rank 3, and so it should have been plowed by now.”

Bellefonte Drive looks good next to Glendover Elementary School, while you can still see ruts on Glendover Road.
The entrance to Henry Clay High School from Fontaine Road looks clean, while Lakeshore Drive is more of a mix.

“I’m surprised that we’re still at this point a week later,” Parsons said. “I really think that we missed several really good opportunities where we were at or near freezing on Sunday after the storm, that the plows didn’t get out like they should have.”…
