Western Corridor Station Area Plan Pop-Up
2023-12-02 09:00 - 12:00 | Method Road Community Center, 514 Method Road, Raleigh, NC, United States
Transit is a means of connecting people with opportunity. It also is a tool for improving sustainability and equity. In a growing city like Raleigh, transit helps people get around in a way that is affordable, supports walkability, and reduces carbon emissions.
Making the most of a transit investment means thinking about how to grow around transit. Station area planning is the process of planning for future bus rapid transit (BRT) stations. It involves planning for where people will walk and bike to transit and how the areas around Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) stations can grow to support healthy, affordable, and equitable neighborhoods.
This process is separate from the design of the Western BRT stations and bus lanes. It is a community planning process for areas within a short walk of the BRT stations along Western Boulevard but not for the BRT route itself.

Station area planning is the process of planning for future bus rapid transit (BRT) stations. It involves planning for where people will walk and bike to transit and how the areas around BRT can grow to support healthy, affordable, and equitable neighborhoods.
This process is separate from the design of the Southern BRT stations and bus lanes. It is a community planning process that will consider areas within a short walk of the BRT stations along S. Wilmington Street.
Are you interested in supporting housing affordability, better places to walk and bike, and reducing carbon emissions and air pollution around future transit routes? Come plan with us!

About Asian Joy
Asian Joy is an oral history and community-driven mural project created by Ina Liu, Isabel Lu, and Sophie Tô.
The project will use storytelling and public art to support the well-being and belonging of our pan-ethnic Asian American (AA) community in North Carolina. First, AA oral histories that center on finding joy will be collected and publicly archived; then, using these stories, the team will work with the community to create a mural and install it at a public location in North Carolina.
This project is supported by SEEK Raleigh, an experimental public art program by Raleigh Arts. Projects should engage with the community in City of Raleigh parks, greenways, and/or community spaces.
