The purpose of the meeting is to discuss Z-38-24, the requested rezoning of a parcel of land located at 1400 Edwards Mill Road (PIN: [REDACTED]) (the “Site”).

the City of Raleigh requires that a second neighborhood meeting be held for all residents and
property owners within 1,000 feet of the area requested for rezoning. After the meeting, a report
will be submitted to the Raleigh Planning and Development Department. Any other person
attending the meeting can submit written comments about the meeting, but to be included in the
Planning Commission agenda packet, written comments must be received at least 10 days prior to the date of the Planning Commission meeting where the case is being considered.

Transit Rider Focus Group for Wake Transit Plan Update
2025-01-15 18:00 - 19:30 | Raleigh Union Station, 510 West Martin Street, Suite 200, Raleigh, NC, 27601
Transit Rider Focus Group for Wake Transit Plan Update
In 2016, Wake County voters approved a half-cent sales tax referendum dedicated to expanding and strengthening transit services in Wake County. The Wake Transit Plan (WTP) is the county-wide transit investment program that decides how those funds will be spent on services and projects to shape the future of transit service across Wake County. Every four years, the Wake Transit Plan is updated to revisit and confirm the region’s ten-year transit investment strategy. This plan will decide how to invest nearly $1 billion over the next 10 years to make it easier for people in Wake County to use public transportation.
Wake Transit staff is currently sharing ideas for how to improve transit access across the region. These ideas are part of what we are sharing now and are helping us develop an investment strategy that will:
· Create fast, reliable connections between Raleigh and Durham with bus rapid transit (BRT)
· Make regional rail options better for traveling between major destinations like Durham, Raleigh, Cary, and Wake Forest
· Expand the programmed bus rapid transit (BRT) network
· Expand frequent local bus service (every 15-minutes or better)
· Build mobility hubs across Wake County to enhance multimodal connections
· Provide safe access to transit with ADA-accessible stops, sidewalk connections, and signalized crossings.
We need input from transit riders to tell us what you think about these new ideas for regional connections, and which projects should come first. Regular transit riders are invited to join Wake Transit staff for a focus group discussion. See below for meeting details:
