Fayetteville Street Streetscape Plan
The City of Raleigh is developing an updated Streetscape Plan for Fayetteville Street, located in the core of its downtown. The project will develop a regulatory document to set design standards for landscaping, lighting, public art, site furnishings, and pedestrian improvements. The plan will also provide a preliminary utility redesign and an implementation plan for future phases of capital improvements along the street.
The project was identified as a prioritized action item in the Downtown Raleigh Economic Development Strategy – A Five Year Plan full report (August 2024), released by the Downtown Raleigh Alliance (DRA), which focused on reactivation strategies for Fayetteville Street. The goal of the project is to provide a streetscape plan that furthers commercial activation while respecting and enhancing the unique historical context of the corridor.
