Council agreed in October to a pretty quick timeline for initial transit-supportive rezoning along designated BRT corridors, applying the Equitable TOD report’s proposed TOD and TOD-R zoning overlays:
- New Bern corridor station area detailed planning will be 2021-2022
- Parcels immediately fronting (or maybe within 100’ of) final West/South/North alignments will get an overlay in 2021. West alignment seems final right now, hopefully N/S are set by then.
I’ve seen a lot of transit plans come and go in Raleigh over the past three decades, and this is the first time I can remember any actual zoning changes – that would inscribe that transit into the built environment writ large.
