South Park Heritage Walk Concept Design Survey
South Park Heritage Walk Concept Design Survey
The South Park Heritage Walk is a 2.6-mile cultural trail that connects historically significant sites within Raleigh’s Black community. We want to hear from you on how to prioritize design considerations for the South Park Heritage Walk!
Step 1
How would you describe your knowledge of the South Park Historic District and proposed South Park Heritage Walk?
In 2014, community-based groups identified focus areas and implementation strategies for the South Park Heritage Walk. These focus areas include:
Connectivity and walkability improvements - new or improved sidewalks, lighting, and mobility-related signage (speed limit, safety) and wayfinding signs that provide local information and direction.
Public space improvements - interpretive elements that tell a story of history and culture, furnishings, landscaping, public art, and interactive elements.
The South Park Heritage Walk will be a cultural trail primarily in the right of way and other public spaces. It can include interpretive elements such as historic signage, art, and interactive exhibits that tell the story of the neighborhood as well as safe and accessible sidewalks, lighting, and wayfinding. Select up to 8 that are most important to you.
Do you have any ideas to make it easier and safer to walk around the proposed South Park Heritage Walk? Use the pin to mark places that need extra attention.
What areas do you feel should also be improved by art, signage, and other interpretive elements within public land. Or is there a place of significance that should be highlighted along the trail?
Is there a place along the proposed South Park Heritage Walk route that reminds you of a personal story or experience?
