Tomorrow night (Tuesday October 2nd) is the public hearing for the roundabouts on Hillsborough Street—both at Pullen/Oberlin and at Morgan. They are separate projects: Kimley Horn is presenting the Hillsborough Streetscape from Dan Allen to Oberlin, including the roundabouts. and PBS&J is presenting the Morgan/Hillsborough roundabout. Public Hearings are at 7pm in Council Chambers (downtown Raleigh at 222 W. Hargett Street in the Avery C. Upchurch Municipal Complex, room 305) and these two projects are first on the agenda.
Public Hearings are attended by both Council and Planning Commission members. This is the opportunity for the public to speak about projects, and then they are typically referred to a committee of either Planning Commission or City Council for further discussion. Public attendance at those meetings is allowed, and this is the absolute best time for public comment, as all the folks that will vote on a project are in the room.
