Blue Ridge Road South is Complete! The City is excited to celebrate the completion of the Blue Ridge Road South project with a ribbon-cutting event! We made improvements to Blue Ridge Road between Duraleigh Road and Homewood Banks Drive. Key features include new sidewalks, a multi-use path, and roadway upgrades. Explore the project page for features and project details!  Art and Poetry Along the Corridor The Public Artist team, Marino Heidel, created sculptures at nine locations throughout the corridor. Taking inspiration from nine of North Carolina's poet laureates, the artists designed each sculpture as a visual interpretation of the poems. The project is a poetry walk experience along the corridor, with poems at each site. Participating Poet Laureates include: Jackie Shelton Green, Shelby Stephenson, Joseph Bathanti, Cathy Smith Bowers, Kathryn Stripling Byer, Fred Davis Chappell, Sam Ragan, James Larkin Pearson, and Arthur Talmage Abernathy.

Following detailed analysis and public input on roadway safety, the City of Raleigh has released its Safe Streets for All Comprehensive Safety Action Plan. This plan will prioritize the elimination of roadway crashes resulting in fatalities and severe injuries, with a goal of reaching ZERO fatal and serious injury traffic crashes.
