The one(s) claiming St. Marys is “dangerous” for bike riders are hilariously brain-dead to me. It’s literally one of the nicest, least busy, and relaxing streets to bike down already lmao. Bike lanes would just make it even more so.

I’ve biked down St. Mary’s. I don’t prefer it on my regular bike, but the ebike has been fine. There’s really nothing being changed such as lanes or parking and people are still against it. I would like it on both sides, but that would lose the parking. If people are complaining without losing parking I can only imagine when the parking is lost.

I should also clarify I have an e-bike as well haha. Still, point stands! It’s not “dangerous” as some people are claiming, and bike lane(s) would only make it that much safer, so what a ridiculous statement.

would a question like “i support “a” saint marys bike project but not as it is currently proposed” have clarified and maybe got more percentage points?

Wake Transit Plan 2035 update survey:
If you click on the “Comment Here” button it’ll take you to a publicinput survey, however it seems the demographics input section is locked. But if you click “Continue,” you can fill out the next section which seems to be the primary component of the survey, asking about spending priorities.

I filled out the survey, but man the way it was designed feels limiting. Very frustrating

I did too! I think that they were forcing priorities. I spent all of my 10 bucks.

Yeah - this was a very poorly designed survey.

Express your preference for new transportation projects in NCDOT’s STIP here: MetroQuest (Lots of transit/bike/ped projects listed.)
The N.C. Department of Transportation is inviting the public to provide feedback on the quantitative scores and preliminary local input points assignments for the transportation projects for the upcoming 2026-2035 State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP). The STIP is developed under the Strategic Transportation Investments (STI) law, which established the Strategic Mobility Formula.
As part of this effort, NCDOT is hosting 14 regional outreach sessions (flier) across the state between June 18 and July 10 to gather input on the locally identified priorities and points assignment methodologies. These sessions will help shape the Draft STIP due next year. You can find a short video about this outreach effort at: https://youtu.be/zwW5YC6QMHU. Feel free to share this link.
If you are unable to attend a session in person, you can view and show your support for projects, as well as submit your comments electronically via MetroQuest at https://metroquestsurvey.com/oq8i8y. The site is now live. MetroQuest is an interactive public input tool that allows you to choose your priorities and express your concerns. All comments, no matter how they are submitted, carry the same weight. All information along with links to the MetroQuest site can be found at NCDOT: 2026-2035 STIP Development.

Thanks for posting this! This is right in my neighborhood, so I’d love to see this expansion.
The Six Forks crossing at Segment 1A does not seem ideal. Traffic can get kind of gnarly there. I liked someone’s suggestion of moving the route over to Industrial Drive and then cutting across Wake Towne Drive to connect to Big Branch, though that crossing on Wake Forest Rd is a beast in and of itself. That would at least provide some utilitarian function to the greenway though.
I love the greenway, but I wish it actually went somewhere useful.

It’s going to vary by person and their location. I like 1A better than Industrial Drive mainly because it’s closer to my location. In saying that, I’d prefer a better crossing on Six Forks Rd between both sides of North Hills. If there was a better crossing across Six Forks Rd for bikes, chances are that I wouldn’t take Segment 1A anyway. I can see people using it who are probably closer to the middle of that section East of St. Marys and West of Wake Forest Rd.

1A is also closer to my location than my suggestion, I just think that’s a bad spot to cross due to the traffic levels. That being said, I’m in favor of more cycling/pedestrian infrastructure, regardless of location, so I won’t turn my nose up even if it seems less ideal.
Improvements to Industrial Drive are included in Midtown-St. Albans Area Plan, so I’m hopeful that will be implemented at some point in the future.
