Transit and Traffic Planning

car.png

The high cost of traffic infrastructure projects are often a barrier to improvement. Government bureaucracy, overhead, regulation and in-efficient operational strategy all contribute to this challenge. With creative data-driven approaches to problem solving, we can help prevent future traffic fatalities and congestion events in our city.

​

Roads like Avent Ferry, Western Boulevard, Hillsborough Street, Wade Avenue, Glenwood Avenue, and Tryon Road are high priority areas that require prompt attention.

​

Recent stories like that of NC State professor Dr. Natalia Duque-Wilckens emphasizes the need for immediate action in Raleigh District D. (NC State professor killed in accident)

​​​​​​

  • Provide our police with the resources to support aggressive traffic enforcement in problematic areas
  • Accelerate Raleigh's Vision Zero plan (2045 if far too long to wait)

  • Perform follow-up reviews of the city's light-commuter rail assessment

  • Support our city workers serving the public in transit and traffic departments (GoRaleigh & Raleigh Department of Transportation)

  • Improve Lenovo Center event planning with NC State Fair planning to prevent future concert traffic grid-locks

  • Engage NC State and Meredith College on-boarding teams to support college student bicycle, pedestrian and automobile safety awareness​
