Raleigh Transportation is hitting the streets with a new community engagement series called Sidewalk Sessions.

Join us on Tuesday, June 10 at Pullen Park from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Stop by to meet Raleigh Transportation's Vision Zero staff, ask questions, share your ideas, and learn more about ongoing projects in your area. It’s a casual, convenient way to connect and help shape the future of transportation in Raleigh. No speeches, no presentations—just real conversations about your neighborhood!
