Wakefield Small Area Study
Wakefield Small Area Study
ISSUES & OPPORTUNITIES SURVEY
The purpose of this survey is to gather information about Wakefield and how the people who live, work, visit, worship, and play in the area experience the community. Responses to this survey will help identify the most appropriate solutions and ideas to consider moving forward.
The City of Raleigh would like residents to share their ideas with us using this interactive online experience. If you or someone you know needs a paper version of the questions presented, please reach out to the Project Manager Hannah Reckow at 919-996-2622 or hannah.reckhow@raleighnc.gov.
INCLUSION GOALS
The City of Raleigh wants to hear from a broad cross-section of the Wakefield community. By helping us understand where you live in the area, we can identify any neighborhoods we have not heard from through this process. Please indicate on the map below generally where you live. If you enter your street name, the map will find it for you.
INTERACTIVE MAPPING EXERCISE
Drag and drop the icons provided to identify opportunities and challenges in the Wakefield Small Area (outlined in orange)! Show us places you love and places where you have big ideas or suggestions. For areas where important pedestrian and bicycle connections need to occur, use the "Draw line" tool at the bottom of the map to show us!

SENSE OF PLACE
Where would you take a visitor to show them what makes Wakefield special to you?
Auto-oriented shopping areas focus on visitors arriving by car and providing large parking areas with few considerations for pedestrians. The development typically only includes retail and restaurants. In comparison, walkable mixed use village centers combine retail, restaurants, office, and housing all together. A focus on pedestrian comfort and walkability is also typical of this type of development.
