I've referred this to our Public Works Department. I will update this issue when I have heard back from them. Thanks for reporting.

There is a need for pedestrian access here. When the City attempted to install curb, gutter, and sidewalks during the last round of road improvements, the residents along Carolina Pines didn't want to pay for these improvements. Now that the sidewalk policy has changed, it would be interesting to re-evaluate this area for sidewalks or a multi-purpose path.

i've reported this before. The guy from the city said there was no money...and he said they would have to get approval from residents to do it in front of their property.

Thanks for your interest in improving pedestrian facilities in Raleigh. Constructing sidewalks on Carolina Pines Avenue would require a street improvement project to add curb & gutter and sidewalk. The City currently doesn’t have any plans to improve Carolina Pines Avenue. Property owners may petition to have Carolina Pines Ave improved to include curb & gutter and sidewalks. A portion of the construction cost will be passed to the abutting property owners in the form of an assessment. For more information about initiating a street improvement and sidewalk petition, contact 919-996-3030 or go to:

The City is currently in the process of developing a Comprehensive Pedestrian Plan that will identify missing sidewalk gaps and prioritize future sidewalk projects. A full draft report should be released for public comment this summer. For more information about the pedestrian plan and to get involved, go to :
