Do you think the proposed additions to the design concepts create a safer corridor for Lake Wheeler Road and Dix Park?
I think Maywood and Lake Wheeler should be considered for a roundabout. Its increasing more difficult to turn from Maywood onto Lake Wheeler in either direction since the opening of the new Farmer's Market access and the artificial bottleneck of forcing cars into one northbound lane at Centennial. Of all the intersections on Lake Wheeler in this stretch, this is the only one not being mentioned for improvements.
One additional point. The entrance to the Farmer's market is also a point of congestion, especially for traffic coming off Maywood onto Lake Wheeler road, then changing lanes to turn right into the Farmer's Market. Perhaps one of those elongated traffic circles could include the Farmer's Market intersection as well.
These and most of the lake wheeler plans only look at cars and the park. There’s an entire neighborhood on the other side of the street. People live in those houses and have to use that street for their daily lives. These residents, who will be first— and most active — users of the street and the park need more consideration in these plans. Roundabouts aren’t a solution. Learn from the mess that is Hillsborough street.
Sidewalks are the biggest need here. A proper pedestrian crossing at Maywood and Goode. Sidewalks need to go all the way from centennial to south Saunders. Traffic is not a major issue here pedestrian safety is!

It would be informative to have a presentation document with the proposed design elements and the location of each designated on a map. The video presentations are clear and informative; however, it is sometimes difficult to gain a perspective of where all the changes are without having a single map to glance at while studying the changes.
I only voted no because there were parts that didn't go into enough detail for me. You did a nice job with it all, and I'm supportive. I just had some moments where I wanted more info.
Please focus on and present pedestrian/bike improvements before benefits for cars. Slow traffic down. Make this corridor less desirable for through traffic and more friendly for foot/bike traffic. If there is any road in Raleigh that needs to be completely reimagined for safety of pedestrians, it's this road (change to Street makes a lot of sense as well). This road borders Dix and connects downtown to the Farmers Market (obv).
