Sunday, January 28th Hello, Mark your calendars for Thursday, March 7. Our next RaleighForward Happy Hour will be that afternoon, at a location to be determined. Reach out if you have a suggestion for a good spot! REMINDER: We know we sound like a broken record, but now is the time to act if you think building a successful transit system is important to the future of Raleigh. A public hearing for the New Bern Avenue Transit Overlay District Rezoning is scheduled for January 30, 2024. This Council meeting is dedicated solely to matters related to the New Bern BRT corridor. Click here for the agenda materials related to the public hearing. Council needs to know there is support for putting in place zoning that will lead to higher residential densities along the New Bern Avenue bus rapid transit route. There is still time to sign up to speak during the January 30 public hearing. The deadline is 5:00 pm Monday, January 29. Click here and scroll down to the bottom of the page to sign up to speak. Even if you can’t attend the January 30 public hearing, the matter is likely to go into Council’s Growth and Natural Resources Committee for more detailed review. While the GNR Committee reviews the rezoning case, it will be important to remind Council that you support higher residential density along New Bern Avenue. Here is a link to our December Newsletter that has all of the information you need for contacting Council. As always, please reach out with any comments or suggestions, and consider making a donation to support our continued efforts to inform policymakers and the public. Eric Braun, Founder
