City Council Highlights

Highlights from the latest Raleigh City Council meeting.

Jan. 7, 2025

  • Council authorized conditional commitment of $3,100,000 for the Maple Ridge affordable housing development. This is a proposed 146-unit development that will feature 54 units at or below 50% AMI (Area Median Income).
  • City staff recommended Council reject all bids received in the most recent Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) bidding process. Council rejected the bids. Major projects are complex. Many variables come into play, including competition with other projects across the state and the region. The City of Raleigh remains committed to bringing the first Bus Rapid Transit project to North Carolina and will be simplifying the bid process by dividing the work into smaller parts. 
  • Council reviewed and approved the master plan for Neuse River Park as recommended by the Parks, Recreation, and Greenway Advisory Board. Given the presence of the Neuse River bordering the site, the master plan prioritizes a river-based experience.
