Reflecting Raleigh Civic Assembly

What is the Civic Assembly?

We’ve brought together a mix of Raleigh residents—chosen by lottery—to reflect the full range of people across the city. Selected participants meet to learn, discuss, and make recommendations on the following questions:

Raleigh is in the process of improving bus service around the city. How should the next Comprehensive Plan help improve access to the new service? What should the neighborhoods served by frequent bus service look like?

Why it matters

In 2009, Raleigh made a plan to guide how the city should grow. The goal was to have 60% of new development in certain easy-to-access places that could support more homes and businesses, and along corridors with strong existing or planned bus service. Since then, about 70% of new growth has happened in those areas. Now, as we plan for the year 2050, we want your help to decide how these neighborhoods should grow.

Recommendations

The Final Recommendations from Civic Assembly participants, compiled and published with support from Raleigh Planning and Development, Raleigh Community Engagement, and the National Civic League.
