2023 Traffic Calming Project Group
The neighborhood engagement and preliminary design portion of this process has been completed and 17 neighborhoods throughout Raleigh voted YES to move the proposed projects for their street from concept drawings to reality.
At the January 2, 2024 Council meeting, Council approved the authorization for the 17 streets listed below to move into the construction phase of the process.
The rebid conducted on April 16, 2025, was successful, with an apparent low bid identified. Staff is currently reviewing the bid proposal and contract documents. Council approved the construction contract in June and staff is finalizing the routing process so that construction can begin. Staff is currently expecting to issue the Notice to Proceed by the end of August.

Design Update:
During the survey of the intersection, we discovered that the existing curb ramps and traffic circle would interfere with each other. Moving the curb ramps isn't possible because of nearby catch basins and other utilities. As a result, the traffic circle has been removed from the plans, and the intersection at S State St and Bragg St will remain an all-way stop.
Other Considerations:
- Speed Cushions: Speed cushions are planned for S State St between Peterson St and Bragg St. These will be built at the same time as other work, which will extend the area with traffic calming from Martin Luther King Jr Blvd to Peterson St (originally just planned for Martin Luther King Jr Blvd to Bragg St).
- Route 5 Upgrades: Route 5 has been upgraded to a frequent service route, with buses running every 15 minutes in each direction. While traffic circles are designed to work with buses, they can affect how well the buses move through the area. To reduce this impact, staff is focusing on using speed cushions as the best option for slowing traffic along routes with frequent bus service.
