In 2010, Red Hat Amphitheater was built on land intended for the expansion of Raleigh Convention Center (RCC). With RCC now at capacity, the City is carefully planning next steps. After exploring many options, the City, its architect and contractor identified one option that meets all needs.
Creating New Paths
As shown on the map below, much of the South Street vehicular traffic is now using Lenoir Street (one block north) to get to and from downtown. Pedestrians and cyclists can also use Lenoir Street to move around this part of downtown.
There are exciting projects under consideration for getting around downtown. Read about our Strollway plans that will come through this section of downtown.
