Watch out, Raleigh-ites! (Particularly those of you driving from N. Raleigh to the John Locke Foundation.)

The city of Raleigh has big plans for Capital Blvd inside the beltline. City planners are currently holding a Capital Blvd Corridor Study to plan any traffic, zoning, or other (larger) changes for the area. Possibilities include “redevelopment, open space creation, water quality improvement, and (mass) transit.”

Capital is a train wreck; it could definitely use some attention. But the current plan sounds more like expensive “smart-growth” than a real solution.

If you have any comments about the study area, please let the Project Manager, Trisha Hasch at [email protected].
