Consider me surprised it was only costing 3.5MM. I was expecting 400 million for that half mile
Which aspect? They are completing the resurfacing on Oberlin with bike lanes. There are some sharrow sections which I donāt necessarily care for, but I do think itās an improvement. Iām also guessing itās not being done there since the road is narrower.
Iām definitely excited to see the section completed near Clark Ave/Oberlin Rd.
I would like to see a better design crossing Glenwood at St. Maryās Street. In the morning, crossing to go onto St. Maryās heading south isnāt too bad. Itās definitely not good for an inexperienced biker, but Iāve had no issues on my hybrid bike. Itās definitely no problem on the ebike. Heading north is a different story. I made the mistake heading north one day after work. Depending on riding style, you get caught in the traffic since thereās no lane and the road is narrow. Iāve started using St Maryās in the morning because crossing at Wade Avenue isnāt great anymore; thereās too much fast moving traffic and no one really stops to let pedestrians/cyclists cross (it takes a bit before someone does stop).

Iāve seen some ESHACKs in airports. Super awesome concept. I think itāll do well in CV.

Iāll hold my opinion on Shake Shack, and simply say Iām glad a retail spot is filled and Iām sure it will do well with the Cameron Village crowd.

What is the Cameron Village crowd?
I have a feeling this would kill (business-wise but also probably health-wise) anywhere in Raleigh, including with the DTR crowdā¦

Overpriced (imo) burgers selling to shoppers with relatively high disposable income.

Like BurgerFi isnāt any cheaper.
Man, downtown is the place for overpriced food options. High rent, gots to pay employees so they can pay for their parking . Go to Raleigh Raw and get a 3 oz dingleberry smooothie for $12. Give me Cameron Village and Chick-fil-A, Moeās, and melted Goodberrys

Was getting some audio work done on my car (replace the infotainment) south of Raleigh near Garner, and I ended up eating lunch at Bojangleās across the street. They had a sign on their window that they were hiring crew members for up to $15 an hour. Paying staff higher wages isnāt just a downtown thing.

To put up with Bojangles customers $30 hr is not even enough. I donāt know how you balance pay and affordability. I donāt mind paying for good food and a good atmosphere, however some of the fast casual type places downtown charge sit down meal prices for take out food. Looking at you Transfer Food Hall.

I find both food halls and food trucks to be generally overpriced.
