Next Thursday (May 6), GoTriangle’s Operations and Finance Committee will meet and talk about an expanded scope for the northern (Capital Blvd.) BRT corridor study.
This means GoTriangle and CAMPO wants to seriously think about extending the northern BRT corridor past 440, and move beyond the semi-official pipe dream we have now!
This Wake Transit Work Plan amendment is listed as a funding allocation change for the 4th quarter of FY2021. This is in line with the city’s plan of making this study public later this year. There is no change in the price tag, and only the scope of the project will change.
EDIT/ADDITION: Two days before that, City Council will talk about amending its budget allocation for the major investment study on extending BRT into Clayton and RTP. The Nelson\Nygaard-run study will now be partly funded by county transit taxes and the RTA as well. The RTA’s involvement in this will be interesting, since it’ll help us tell just how serious they’re willing to be with their FAST network idea.
