  • Existing Environment Water Resources
    SEHSR Richmond, VA, to Raleigh, NC EXISTING ENVIRONMENT A condensed format was used for this Final Environmental Impact Statement (EIS), as clarified in the Executive Summary of this report. The following discussion on the existing environment describes existing conditions associated with the natural environment, land features, air quality, noise, visual conditions, cultural and community resources, transportation, and infrastructure within the Southeast High Speed Rail (SEHSR) Richmond to Raleigh Project Study Area. The Study Area for the natural and physical environment, cultural resources, and infrastructure varies from 300 to 1,000 feet in width depending on the resource, and is centered about the existing rail line or right of way (ROW). In areas where the existing railroad curves do not meet the design standards for high speed rail, the Study Area expands to approximately 500 feet outside of the proposed rail realignments. The Study Areas for the human environment, noise, and air quality are generally larger than the Project area boundaries. The larger Study Areas are defined by regions of influence in which a resource may potentially have noticeable project-related impacts. Regions of influence for human resources account for factors such as community sizes, geographical and political boundaries, and census boundaries. These human resources include social and economic issues, community resources, and land use planning. The air quality Study Area is influenced by local and regional atmospheric conditions. The noise Study Area is determined by the limit of noise intrusions associated with the project. All references to “Study Area” and “Project” below pertain to the Richmond to Raleigh Project, unless otherwise noted.

  • City of Raleigh Neighborland Perry Street Studio LLC Dorothea Dix Park Master Plan Community Outreach & Engagement Executive Summary
    Public Engagement Source: City of Raleigh Neighborland Perry Street Studio LLC Dorothea Dix Park Master Plan Community Outreach & Engagement Executive Summary The City of Raleigh, with the support of the Dorothea Dix Park Conservancy, is leading a generational effort to develop Dorothea Dix Park. This success of this effort lies in the ability to create a deep and meaningful connection between the community and the park. In terms of scale and scope, the outreach associated with the Master Plan is unprecedented in city projects. This strategy presents a thoughtful, coordinated and ambitious approach to meaningful outreach and engagement. Parks are one of the most democratic spaces in a community. The City of Raleigh has made it a priority to create a diverse and equitable master planning process for Dix Park that serves all of Raleigh’s residents and beyond. The Outreach and Engagement Strategy is couched in an equity framework that details the objectives, implementation, and evaluation of an inclusive and accessible planning process. This strategy takes a multi-faceted and flexible approach to outreach and engagement. From traditional community meetings to experience-based events, programs and online participation, this strategy provides multiple channels to reach a broad and diverse audience. The goal is to provide a variety of opportunities for individuals to explore and shape the future of Dorothea Dix Park. Finally, this strategy was built around the schedule set forth by the Master Plan consultant, Michael Van Valkenburgh Associates (MVVA). Engagement opportunities were be designed to facilitate dialogue between the community and MVVA. The process was iterative with engagement continually informing the evolution of the Dorothea Dix Park Master Plan.
