Thanks for sharing! Hopefully this leads to some traffic calming along a certain pair of one-way thoroughfares.

There’s a Department of Transportation BRT meeting in a couple of days but also an online survey to provide feedback if you can’t make it to the meeting (or in addition to attending the meeting I guess).
Also shared via @DTR Facebook/Twitter if you wouldn’t mind liking and sharing. Thx!

I’m liking the responses on this survey thus far. 93% support triplexes and quads within SFH neighborhoods walkable distance to BRT. Shh don’t tell the NIMBYS!!

Community Engagement Preferences Survey
The Raleigh Department of City Planning strives to continuously improve our methods of community engagement in a way that informs, consults, involves, collaborates with, and empowers the residents of our community. To accomplish this, the City of Raleigh Community Engagement Process Development (CEPD) project is studying best practices for conducting outreach to create a standard process for community outreach and engagement in City Planning projects.
We would love to hear your thoughts about your experience with our past community engagement efforts. Your involvement in this survey helps build a plan to effectively engage the community during all future City Planning projects. It should only take a few minutes to complete.

Sorry if this made it on here already, but I just completed the Pedestrian Safety Survey and thought others might be interested.

What should Capital Boulevard look like in the future? We would love to hear your thoughts!

Not sure how they think they’re going to create a walkable neighborhood or enjoyable pedestrian experience with a 10-lane grade-separated highway slicing down the middle of it…I commented that they need to think about cap parks or selling air rights over the Capital Blvd. ROW.

Results are a little disheartening, and it’s weird that there were fewer potential benefits listed (4) as compared to downsides (12) for residents to rank – it almost seems to imply to the survey-take that there are de facto more downsides. They didn’t even list that increasing supply could keep housing from getting more expensive, but they did list increased prices under downsides/concerns??? That almost seems intentional.
Around here the de facto is still to increase supply, but to do so on the outskirts. And buy you a new mid size SUV to get you to the other far flung corners of the Triangle.

Done! Also requested a shelter at the bus stop I use, though I doubt it will happen because it’s not a popular stop.

Yeah I thought that was interesting too, considering how frequently we hear about the likes of, for example, Oakwood residents opposing even minor changes to any houses in the neighborhood due to aesthetics/character/history. A number of the results in the survey make me question how representative these surverys really are of Raleighites in general. They stated that Raleighites’ opinions are heavily polarized on this issue, but I wonder if you polled random people walking around on the street on any given Saturday afternoon if most peoples’ opinion wouldn’t simply be “I guess I don’t really know/care” which I would expect to count as an “I’m not concerned about the effects of infill development”. We know that they aren’t taken by a random selection of the population, and the links to these surveys are passed around by those with strong opinions to others with strong opinions. But for all that I also don’t know if the decision-makers actually care whether or not they are getting a representative sample so much as they care to be aware of what sort of criticisms they will face if they try to do anything, since they’re going to have to contend with the loud people if they do. Also, not that I’m implying that this is going on, but one could really pretty much get whatever result they wanted to with one of these if they were to quietly publish a survey and make casual mention of it’s existence to a few interested people who support whichever result you were looking for.
