There will still be hundreds of feet of missing sidewalk on the east side of Atlantic, including underneath the 440 bridges. Need another project to address this.
I'll second the need for extending sidewalks to Capital in the future, as pedestrians end up walking in the edge of the road. Also, UPS needs a light for pedestrians and peak traffic, similar to the one you're proposing for Bramer and also like the one between the State Capital and the museums. Deputies inadvertently block the view of pedestrians in the morning and it's really dark at night.
One of the biggest problems on this stretch is delivery vehicles going to UPS or FedEx. They take up a lot of space on the road, go way too fast, and tend to ignore restrictions. I think that widening the Lanes and adding the median will help with this. Thank you.
I lived in Brentwood and road my bike as my primary method of transportation. Please ensure the traffic sensor at highwoods and atlantic responds to bicycles. This is one of the only places I know of in Raleigh where a light will turn green for only one direction. Meaning, a car will be at the light at Wolfpack / Atlantic. I will be on my bike at Highwoods / Atlantic. The car will set off the traffic signal only in one direction and I will never get a green light. I have reported this in the past but the last time I rode by (years later) it still wasn't solved.
As you do this work, please consider grading and sight-lines to the New Hope Rd intersection -- because of the dip in the road, it can be hard to see how much traffic is waiting at the light.
