Photos from tonight at Crank Arm ride. Photos include photos of Downtown Raleigh from Dix and Park City. My last photos were mainly of the pedestrian improvements due to Clairmont at Crabtree complex. I know a lot of people were disappointed with this (myself included), but I absolutely love the connection here. I do wish there was a better connection on the mall side. This is similar to North Hill’s terrible connection at Six Forks Rd.

My apologies if the photos layout is weird.

  1. Looking at downtown from Dix Park.
  2. Park City South
  3. Looking downtown from Park City South

  6. The Weld


  1. Biking group
  2. A lot of the cones have been moved out of the way on Oberlin. Not sure if it’s done by someone who was annoyed or the construction company.
  3. Greenway like path in front of Clairmont at Crabtree across from Crabtree Mall
  4. Looking towards Crabtree from the path in front of Clairmont at Crabtree
  5. Path in front of Clairmont at Crabtree
  6. Looking at the intersection of North Hills Drive. There’s a crosswalk on the south section of the intersection, but no button to cross here. Only the North side has a button.

I walked out this morning to get this photo showing that South Street is closed and I saw a wreck near the Lenoir and McDowell intersection involving a bicycle and car. I didn’t want to take a photo, I don’t know I feel icky about it, but the bike was underneath the front of the car. When I arrived, the person was in the ambulance and shortly after, it drove away, lights/sirens on.

Stay safe out there.

Oh, that’s sad and horrible news. With speed limits being 25 MPH across downtown, I can’t help but wonder if that limit was being observed by the driver? We just have to do better as a city!
