Thank you for your idea. The City is in the beginning stages of a corridor planning process for Six Forks Road from just south of I-440 north to Lynn Road. As part of this plan we are hoping to identify potential opportunities such as this for the corridor.

In terms of the corridor plan, we began with a public visioning workshop late last year to kick off the process. We expect to pick back up with public meetings in early 2014, with a consultant leading the effort. Please visit http://www.raleighnc.gov/urbandesign and click on Six Forks Corridor Study for more information. You can also sign up on that page to receive email updates on the study. We hope you get involved with the study as we move forward.

If you would like to contact me directly, my name is Carter Pettibone. My phone number is 919-996-4643 and my email is carter.pettibone@raleighnc.gov.

I will add your comment to the list of ideas detailed in our Workshop Summary Report.

Please do not expose bike riders with striping anywhere in this design as it gives bikers a false sense of security. Especially, it is VERY dangerous to have bikers under 15 yr. of age to be exposed to the proximity of fast move motor vehicles. They are simply NOT ready for the experience. It WILL cause serious, serious injuries incl. DEATH! Make the sidewalks twice as wide to ride bikes on and share with pedestrians. Save these children & adults

The Six Forks Road Corridor Study meetings by the City of Raleigh are this Wednesday and Thursday:
A two-day design workshop will be held on the Six Forks Road Corridor Study. The workshop will be conducted by the City of Raleigh’s Urban Design Center staff in partnership with the consulting team of DesignWorkshop, Midtown Raleigh Alliance, Stantec Engineering, and Noell Consulting Group.
The first of the two workshop sessions will be held Sept. 17 from 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. in the cafeteria at Carroll Magnet Middle School, 4520 Six Forks Road. The second session will be held at the same time on Sept. 18 at the Trinity Baptist Church Fellowship Hall, 4815 Six Forks Road. Both sessions are open to the public. Feedback from the first session will be further discussed at the second session, so residents are encouraged to attend both sessions.
Each workshop session will provide different opportunities for engagement and will hone in on the opportunities for improvement to the Six Forks Road corridor that have been identified in previous project phases. Stations will be set up that focus on topics such as bike infrastructure, neighborhood gateways, corridor design, and WalkRaleigh, a special pilot program.
