City To Host Public Workshop On Capital Boulevard Corridor Study

The Capital Boulevard Corridor is one of the main points of expansion for Downtown Raleigh. A lot was considered in the past few years with the 2030 plan (including a riverwalk and more retail) and it looks like the City of Raleigh is serious about moving forward with developing this region of downtown and beyond.

from the City of Raleigh:

The City of Raleigh will hold a public workshop on the Capital Boulevard Corridor Study on Thursday, June 24, from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. in the new vehicle showroom at the Bobby Murray Chevrolet dealership located at 1820 Capital Blvd. Registration and check-in begins at 6 p.m. and light refreshments will be served.

The first public workshop is being held to define the corridor study area, identify key issues and opportunities, and refine the next steps in the study process. A brief presentation of the history of the corridor and a preliminary inventory of known issues will be given. Afterward, small group discussions will be held to gather public input on how best to transform Capital Boulevard into a vibrant mixed-use corridor. Capital Boulevard serves as the primary gateway to the heart of Raleigh and offers unique opportunities for redevelopment, open space creation, water quality improvement, and transit.

Parking for the public workshop at Bobby Murray Chevrolet will be available outside the showroom and in the adjacent Flea Market Mall parking lot. To register to attend, go to www.raleighnc.gov/planning. Special accommodations for residents with disabilities can be made by calling the City’s Public Affairs Department at 996-3100
