Do you think the project will improve safety for pedestrians and cyclist along the corridor?
Will you please plan to extend sidewalks along Atlantic/Litchford Rd from downtown all the way north? As is, this is not a pedestrian friendly stretch.
I love off of ingraham, and I have found it to be very dangerous to walk or bike on Atlantic. The bike lane on the west would make it much safer and really improve the transportation in the neighborhood. I love the idea. Please do it!
The proposed median shown in green looks to be too easy for cars to just bump over it, causing more traffic safety problems than currently exist. I strongly request that this become a planted median as a better traffic calmer. This would be more in keeping with this residential area, as it would be different from the roadway in height as well as material. A planted median would reduce impervious surface, buffer noise and help air quality. A good example of this is the south end of Leesville Rd.
I don't see any ways for pedestrians/cyclists to cross Atlantic to get to the proposed amenities. The closest residences are on the East side of Atlantic, the wide path is on the west side, and the only crosswalk is at New Hope Church.

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.
