Naming Rights and Honorary Naming of City Facilities
Evan Raleigh, City Manager’s Office
In 2021, City Council adopted Resolution 2021-278 which established procedures for the naming of City parks, park facilities, greenways, and other City facilities.

Wake Bus Rapid Transit – Southern Corridor Project Update
Het Patel, Transportation
In November 2016, Wake County voters approved a transit-dedicated half-cent sales tax investment to expand and better connect the public transit network throughout Wake County. Transit improvements identified in the plan include the implementation of four Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) corridors. On September 4, 2018, City Council authorized the mayor to accept the City’s project sponsor designation for the Wake Transit Plan’s BRT (Wake BRT) projects. Wake BRT Southern Corridor project extends approximately five (5) miles from GoRaleigh Station in Downtown Raleigh to North South Station and Walmart in Town of Garner, primarily along South Wilmington Street.
The Wake BRT Southern Corridor project is currently at the 60% design milestone in the final design process. The project’s next steps include property acquisition along the corridor, within City of Raleigh and town of Garner jurisdictions, respectively. Transportation staff along with City Attorney’s Office have worked with Garner staff and the Town Attorney to draft a municipal agreement regarding acquisition of necessary property rights for implementation of the Southern BRT project.
During the work session staff will provide an update of the project including 60% design assumptions, next steps in the federal grant agreement process, and project schedule. The presentation will include a summary of property acquisition needs at 60% design; included with the agenda materials are the list of properties for which preauthorization for condemnation will be requested as well as Exhibit B, the property identification map.
