Six Forks Road Improvement Project - Pre-Design Touchpoint
We are starting the design phase for the Six Forks Road Improvement Project between Rowan Street and Lynn Road, and we want to know how you use the corridor.

Jim MelnykWe live on Crestview Road. This project will take away our access to Six Forks south. This will make it more difficult to get to North Hills and I-440. With no left turn option for Crestview or Wendell we will have to drive through the North Glenn subdivision - on 7 different str...See More
Reply2 Agree5 years agoChad-City of RaleighIn general, most of our higher speed and capacity roadway designs favor a median to reduce left turn conflicts. We understand that restricting left turns where people have historically been able to make left turns can be upsetting to residents and that travel may be less conveni...See More
Agree5 years agoHopefully this project will move at very fast pace because the current design is extremely outdated and upgrades are long past due...especially with all the redevelopment and growth in the area.
Reply2 Agree5 years agoC.W. WoodThe overbuilding being allowed by our City Government will increase traffic in the Six Forks Road project and make cycling and pedestrian lanes more dangerous unless these lanes are physically buffered. Pedestrian bridges are widely built across the country but rarely seen in Ra...See More
Reply1 Agree5 years agoChad-City of RaleighWhile we aren't proposing pedestrian bridges for this section of Six Forks, we will be providing separated bicycle and pedestrian facilities behind the curb. We are proposing a protected intersection design at each of the proposed signalized intersections. This design approach ...See More
1 Agree5 years agoThe person above who was fussing about not being able to social distance on the sidewalk when people are walking both directions - please don't take that into account. I don't want to see 7-8 ft wide sidewalks, I'd rather that space be left green or be part of lane space
ReplyAgree5 years agoChad-City of RaleighInstead of the more typical 10-foot wide multi-use path that has been constructed on past City projects, we will have bicycle and pedestrian facilities separated by a planting area. This will allow us to utilize a smaller 6-foot sidewalk and provide a 5-foot dedicated bikeway. ...See More
Agree5 years agoHave the project designers considered walkways either over the road or underneath the road? In Europe, they have under-road tunnels at every intersection, and it makes pedestrian travel a breeze!
ReplyAgree5 years agoChad-City of RaleighThere are currently no plans for pedestrian tunnels or bridges. Similar to other bicycle and pedestrian friendly cities in the US and EU, we will be designing all proposed signalized intersections as protected intersections. At our next public touchpoint, we will have plans sho...See More
