Appendix III: Transportation Engineering Appendix III: Transportation Engineering Author: VHB Engineering NC, P.C. Dorothea Dix Park is located near Downtown Raleigh, a rapidly growing metropolitan area. Planning for Dix Park includes planning for how people will access the park. The following analysis outlines the recommended changes to the surrounding street network to serve the park and its visitors. 418 Dorothea Dix Park Master Plan 419 Dix Park Transportation Dix Park Transportation Ashe & Bilyeu • Western Blvd Intersections • Western Blvd = 30k 27k (2015) • Ashe/Bilyeu • Pullen Rd Ext Bilyeu closed at Western • Hunt/Central Prison • Rocky Branch GW realigned • S Boylan • Future realignment/consolidation of Ashe? • Simple signal with crosswalk • Union Station Bike/Ped Connection • Ped bridge…or tunnel?

Internal streets were built to connect the former hospital campus to outbuildings occupied by North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services offices. The streets are narrow and designed for low traffic volumes. The Rocky Branch Greenway along Western Boulevard is the only formal bicycle path accommodation on the site, and sidewalks between buildings are the extent of the site’s formal pedestrian accommodations. However, people enjoy walking and bicycling on the low traffic streets. Access to the site was historically limited because the site was not a public destination and purposely secluded from adjoining properties and neighborhoods. As such, roadways bordering Dix Park were designed to accommodate regional traffic. These multilane roadways are barriers to connections with nearby neighborhoods and parks. Entrances onto Dix Park are designed to discourage and restrict direct access. There are no direct connections between the Dix Park site and the State Farmer’s Market. The Dix Park Plan will describe another evolution in the site’s future transportation network. Access to neighboring properties will be opened. Bicycling, transit, and walking will be critical travel modes for accessing the park. In pursuit of these goals, this memo examines the current conditions of the transportation network on and adjoining the site. It considers the priority issues and obstacles to visitors safely and comfortably travelling to and through this premier destination, while minimizing the need to drive or park a vehicle. Cyclists and pedestrians need safer access to the Dix Park site Cycling and walking near the Dix Park site is currently limited to neighborhood streets severed from the site by major roadways and part of a local greenway. Western Boulevard and Lake Wheeler Road are the most significant barriers to bicycle and pedestrian access to Dix Park. There are no formal bicycle or pedestrian accommodations at entrances along Lake Wheeler Road. Pedestrians and cyclists cross Western Boulevard at Boylan Avenue, Hunt Drive, and Ashe Avenue, but the crossings are neither intuitive nor convenient. The Boylan Street pedestrian crossing is intimidating and requires that pedestrians and cyclists cross in two stages. Cyclists can more easily access Dix Park from the west, crossing Centennial Parkway at the Blair Drive entrance, but this entrance also lacks formal pedestrian and bicycle accommodations. The Rocky Branch Trail enters the site from the west as a shared use path parallel to Western Boulevard. The path also extends across South Saunders Street east of the Dix Park site. Walking and bicycle paths through Dix Park should create direct and connected routes to regional destinations On the Dix site, the Centennial Bikeway Connector greenway (along Centennial Parkway) and the Rocky Branch Trail (parallel to Western Boulevard on the south side) are the only formal bicycle paths or extensive walking accommodations on the Dix Park site. Existing sections of the Rocky Branch Trail are in major disrepair and do not provide safe or accessible crossings across Western Boulevard to Pullen Park, North Carolina State University (NCSU) Main Campus, or the Boylan Heights neighborhood. 432 Dorothea Dix Park Master Plan Appendix III - VHB Engineering 433 ix ark Master lan, iscovery hase Di Park Master Plan, Discovery Phase ecember 017 December 201 Future greenway connections across ake heeler Road will provide more direct access to the State • icycle lanes along Martin Luther ing r oulevard from Poole Road to the South aunders Farmer’s Market and regional greenway systems such as the Walnut Creek Trail.

  • Civil Rights Activism in Raleigh and Durham, North Carolina, 1960-1963
    SUTTELL, BRIAN WILLIAM, Ph.D. Campus to Counter: Civil Rights Activism in Raleigh and Durham, North Carolina, 1960-1963. (2017) Directed by Dr. Charles C. Bolton. 296 pp. This work investigates civil rights activism in Raleigh and Durham, North Carolina, in the early 1960s, especially among students at Shaw University, Saint Augustine’s College (Saint Augustine’s University today), and North Carolina College at Durham (North Carolina Central University today). Their significance in challenging traditional practices in regard to race relations has been underrepresented in the historiography of the civil rights movement. Students from these three historically black schools played a crucial role in bringing about the end of segregation in public accommodations and the reduction of discriminatory hiring practices. While student activists often proceeded from campus to the lunch counters to participate in sit-in demonstrations, their actions also represented a counter to businesspersons and politicians who sought to preserve a segregationist view of Tar Heel hospitality. The research presented in this dissertation demonstrates the ways in which ideas of academic freedom gave additional ideological force to the civil rights movement and helped garner support from students and faculty from the “Research Triangle” schools comprised of North Carolina State College (North Carolina State University today), Duke University, and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Many students from both the “Protest Triangle” (my term for the activists at the three historically black schools) and “Research Triangle” schools viewed efforts by local and state politicians to thwart student participation in sit-ins and other forms of protest as a restriction of their academic freedom.

  • Chavis Park Carousel Landmark Designation Report Prepared for the Raleigh Historic Districts Commission
    Chavis Park Carousel Landmark Designation Report Prepared for the Raleigh Historic Districts Commission Originally Prepared January 2001 By M. Ruth Little Longleaf Historic Resources Revised February 2008 By April Montgomery Circa, Inc. 1 of 18 Physical Description The Chavis Park Carousel stands in the center of Chavis Park on Chavis Way. It is sheltered within a frame pavilion on the south side of Park Road, an internal street within the park. The twenty‐three acre park is located in southeast Raleigh between East Lenoir Street and Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard. The carousel was installed in the park on July 2, 1937. Experts estimate the date of manufacture of the carousel to be between 1916 and 1923, because it closely resembles a documented 1916 Herschell Carousel1. Carousel: The carousel, known as a ʺNo. 2, Special Three Abreast, Allan Herschell Carousel, was purchased from the Allan Herschell Company of North Tonawanda, New York, for $4,000 in 1937. The carousel had been designed and used for traveling shows originally, and was refurbished prior to its sale to the City of Raleigh. The Herschell Company catalogue describes this model as a forty‐foot carousel containing: thirty‐six hand‐carved horses (outer row studded with jewels) and two beautifully carved double‐seat Chariots. Passenger capacity 48 persons. All horses are jumpers. Horse Hanger pipe and platform hanger pipe is encased in polished Brass. The Cornice, Shields and panel Picture Center are highly decorated works of art and are wired for 196 lights. Oil paintings and hand carvings combine with bright colors to produce a beautiful and practical machine.

INTRODUCTION City residents, workers and visitors participate in the public transportation decision-making process. Everyone who resides, work, travel, or play within the service area are stakeholders and should have ample opportunity to provide input in the planning and decision-making processes for transit services, fare changes, disparity studies, construction, etc. GoRaleigh is committed to providing timely public involvement opportunities and facilitating active participation. The public participation plan is intended to develop two-way communication systems between transit service partners, people, businesses, and leaders to collaboratively address transit needs and ensure the public, including minorities, low-income, and Limited English Proficient (LEP) populations, have meaningful opportunities to participate in the decision making process. GoRaleigh’s plan is written to be in compliance with Federal Transit Administration (FTA) Title VI program which requires an inclusive Public Participation Plan to outline how requirements related to public participation will be met. GoRaleigh, the City of Raleigh’s Department of Transportation Transit Program, administers public transportation for the City, including a fixed route transportation system, paratransit service, and a free downtown circulator. The agency provides fixed-route service along 37 bus routes, including four express routes, six connectors, and one downtown circulator.
