Don’t Break Raleigh’s Transit Promises!

Don’t break Raleigh’s transit promises  Will New Bern BRT revitalize existing neighborhoods or eliminate them? Register now for Livable Raleigh's Community Conversation on Thursday, November 16, at 7pm when Livable Raleigh will host a Zoom event featuring Tolulope Omokaiye, Chair of Raleigh Transit Authority. The pairing of two record-setting New Bern Avenue initiatives: the $97M New Bern Avenue Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) line and staff’s proposed 744 parcel multi-story upzoning of private land along the New Bern Avenue Corridor, have presented the Planning Commission and City Council with some of the most complex and difficult growth decisions Raleigh will ever face. The difficult question for the Planning Commission and City Council is this: Rather than continuing to chip away at the overlay zoning’s many inequitable impacts, are you willing to call for an alternate staff proposal that puts less emphasis on rapid economic redevelopment and more emphasis on best practices that will achieve equitable revitalization without dislocation? Learn more and ask your questions on November 16. Register today!
