I think this means the city will start asking for public comments today -but I’ll be working and can’t see the WebEx for this plan, starting today at 4pm Was anyone else thinking of going?
I think this means we're just one public comment period away from developers being able to take advantage of this??
The city uploaded a list of amendments they want to make to the city’s future land use and street maps (read: the thing that makes new transit/bike routes and zoning change requests easier to do) -but not a preview of the presentation.
It’s nice that North Hills is getting more densely developed, and that Midtown Exchange, Five Points/East End Market, and Capital Blvd. are starting to come up with cool-looking concepts. But if you want that vibe to last, then you need to tie all of those projects together into one plan with a single narrative. Only then, can we finally make Raleigh’s inner-north suburbs more walkable and less car-dependent (and be in it for the long run)!
I wonder if this is what John Kane had in mind for the northern end of his mysterious “Prime Corridor” proposal back when we were competing for Amazon HQ2? Maybe it’s not bad, after all, that we didn’t have to bow down to Amazon’s demands to make a plan like this happen.
