Martin St. Raleigh residents and other interested parties are invited to attend. This will be the third in a series of public information sessions on the Union Station project.   The purpose of the workshop is to solicit public input regarding program elements. Conceptual plans also will be available for review and comment. There will be a brief presentation at 6 p.m. Representatives from the North Carolina Department of Transportation’s (NCDOT) Rail Division, the City of Raleigh and the design team will be available to answer questions. Public comments provided at the workshop will be taken into consideration during the station design process.   Raleigh Union Station is located at 510 W. Martin St. in the Viaduct Building, a former Dillon Supply Co. warehouse facility. The future station is a joint initiative of NCDOT’s Rail Division and the City of Raleigh. Funding for the first stage of the station’s design is provided by a grant from the Federal Railroad Administration, as well as from City and state matching funds.   Also at Wednesday’s public information session, citizens will have an opportunity to learn more about the City of Raleigh’s efforts to improve and expand bus service into Downtown. To be introduced at the meeting is a project that looks at future needs and opportunities to modify service at the Moore Square Transit Station. The project will also evaluate alternatives for establishing a new multi-modal transportation center that will serve as Raleigh’s primary bus transfer facility.   Free parking for the public information session will be available in the surface parking lot at the end of West Martin Street.   For more information, visit www.ncdot.gov/projects/raleighunionstation.  City of Raleigh • Public Affairs Department • 222 W.
