Subject: Upcoming Events
June 22 & 23: New Development Code…Transitions Workshops
The City of Raleigh is drafting new development regulations and needs your ideas about rules for transitions between different uses—e.g., between residential and commercial uses. The objective is to mitigate any adverse impacts on any property. Although each workshop targets a specific stakeholder group, the public is welcome to attend any meeting and will have the opportunity to make comments.

June 24: Capital Blvd Corridor Study
The City has begun work on a project for the revitalization of Capital Boulevard between the beltline and the downtown business district. This workshop provides the public with the opportunity to create a vision for this important gateway into the City of Raleigh. Since this project runs along the eastern boundary of the Five Points CAC and will include both high-speed and regional rail lines, it’s important that our community becomes an active participant in the process.

June 28 : Regional Transit Public Meetings
The Triangle Regional Transit Program continues its work on the development of a plan for a regional transit system. An Alternatives Analysis team will receive public input on the design, implementation, and operation of a system.
July 1: Falls Lake Public Hearings
The State Division of Water Quality is currently developing plans to clean up Falls Lake and needs your input. Stricter rules are under consideration to limit future development in the watershed and require existing development to conform to more rigorous standards.
July 26: Southeast High-Speed Rail Public Hearing
Planning for a Southeast High-Speed Rail Corridor is underway. Learn more about the project and provide your feedback. "The SEHSR project proposes to construct approximately 162 miles of high speed rail as part of an overall plan to extend high-speed passenger rail service from the Northeast Corridor (Boston to Washington, DC) southward through Virginia to Charlotte, NC."
