Midtown-St. Albans - Choosing a Path
Midtown-St. Albans - Choosing a Path
Introduction
You’ve talked and we listened: We’ve heard that the Midtown area is great, but that addressing some issues could make it even better. This quick survey is divided into topics based on goals that we’ve heard were important to people and asks for your feedback on proposed solutions. If you would like more information on the project, please check out our webpage located here or reach out directly to Sara Ellis on the project team at sara.ellis[at]raleighnc.gov or 919.996.2234. We are always happy to discuss the project, survey or any planning related questions you may have.
Goal 1: Make Midtown More Walkable
We’ve heard that Midtown has some great destinations, but that it’s not always safe and comfortable to walk to them, even if they are close. These solutions aim to fix that.
Goal 2: Improving Mobility for All
Goal 3: Creating Great Places, Expanding Housing Options, Respecting Neighborhoods
Another set of goals outlined in the Midtown plan focuses on creating great places considering other land use questions. The plan seeks to create walkable, comfortable places with a unique identity, not just places people currently pass through on their way to somewhere else
It also looks at how to accommodate a greater range of housing and employment options while respecting the scale of existing residential neighborhoods and to provide additional housing options in the area.
Some of the following questions involve how a few specific parts of the Midtown area should evolve over time. The city’s Future Land Use Map is a guide for how areas should change, or not, in the future. In some cases, this plan proposes changes to the map. That map, along with explanations for the different colors, is shown below.
