The opening of Safety City, Lexington’s make-believe city that teaches children about automobile and pedestrian safety, on May 23, 1990. The community project includes a network of two-lane streets that is realistic in detail, with curbs, sidewalks and pedestrian crossings. More than 2,000 children from Central Kentucky visit Safety City each school year. The city is a partnership between Eastern Kentucky University and the Lexington Police Department. A new fleet of electric cars was recently purchased with the help of a $49,000 donation from Toyota, replaced an aging fleet that had dated to Safety City’s opening in 1990.
