David Cox was a member of Raleigh’s City Council for seven years starting with his initial election as District B Councilor in 2015.

He has submitted this blog to Livable Raleigh for publication:  

Seven years ago (2017) the citizens of Raleigh overwhelmingly approved a $206 million transportation bond to make improvements to 16 roads.

How are those projects coming along now that seven years have gone by?

From the October 2023 update: Out of 16 projects, one (I repeat ONE) project has been completed.

What in the world is City Manager, Marchell Adams-David doing?

Why aren’t Mayor Mary-Ann Baldwin and the rest of Council providing any oversight to get our much needed road improvements done?

One project a decade doesn’t cut it.
