Biophilic Cities Explained

All Faith's Chapel at Dix Park 1030 Richardson Drive, Raleigh, NC

Tim Beatley is coming to Raleigh!  Date is Sept. 25th at All Faith’s Chapel on Dix Park.  The talk begins at 5:30.  Please help spread the word with colleagues as well as with members of Raleigh’s boards and commissions.  Does the name ring a bell but you don’t remember the connection?  Tim Beatley is the founder of the Network of Biophilic Cities.  Raleigh is a member of the Network but apparently this status is not well understood or appreciated.  Help spread the word. https://dorotheadixpark.org/event/being-biophilic-city-raleighs-present-future-sustainable-design Understanding the significance of Raleigh’s status as a member of the Network of Biophilic Cities is vital when considering how our city is being built as it grows.  Would you like to see more green wall planters on our tall parking decks?  Would you like to see roof top gardens providing habitat for birds and a green outdoor space for people living in tall buildings?  Would you like to see more tree lined streets and plants that attract butterflies, bees and birds as well as more stormwater retention gardens?  There are many innovative environmentally wise projects Raleigh could be implementing IF we citizens knew of them.  Let’s learn what other cities are doing!

The concerns regarded how existing conditions allowed aggressive drivers to pass slower motorists in the existing elongated dedicated right-turn lane into Conn Elementary School. Prior to installation of the existing dedicated right-turn lane, unregulated on-street parking was existing in this curb-space along Brookside Drive. As Council may recall, recent public comments during the May 14 and May 21 public comment periods were presented regarding concerns and planned improvements along Brookside Drive between Frank Street and Glascock Street.  Council has also received numerous email messages from residents in the vicinity related to these same concerns. Between March and September 2023, staff heard from and worked with residents and the Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Commission (BPAC) to […]
