Residents of Raleigh are invited to participate in the “Raleigh in Motion” community open house, scheduled for Wednesday, June 11, 2025. The event will take place from 4:30 to 7 p.m. at the John Chavis Community Center Reception Hall, located at 505 Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd.
Barbara Godwin, City of Raleigh Bicycle & Pedestrian Program Manager, emphasized the importance of the event: “Raleigh in Motion isn’t just about streets and sidewalks—it’s about building a connected, inclusive city that works for all who live, work, and play here.” She encouraged residents who have ideas on improving transportation safety and accessibility to attend.
The event aims to combine efforts from the Active Mobility Plan (AMP) and the Downtown Mobility Study (DMS) to create a unified transportation network focused on people. Attendees will have the opportunity to review draft recommendations that include priority networks and strategies intended to enhance safety and ease of movement around Raleigh.
The open house is designed as a drop-in style event, allowing participants to visit at their convenience. Visitors can meet staff from various departments such as Mobility Strategy & Infrastructure, Raleigh Vision Zero, GoRaleigh Transit, Raleigh Greenways, Housing & Neighborhoods. Interactive stations will be available for feedback collection. Light refreshments and activities for children will also be provided.
This free event is described as more than just a transportation meeting; it offers residents a chance to influence future developments in Raleigh’s transportation infrastructure. Those interested in improved sidewalks, bike lanes, bus access or traffic safety are encouraged to voice their opinions.
The Active Mobility Plan seeks to update previous plans by considering stakeholder needs across Raleigh and developing a prioritized mobility network with policy recommendations. Meanwhile, the Downtown Mobility Study focuses on enhancing multimodal planning for downtown areas by updating existing transportation plans with input from local stakeholders.
Organizers look forward to community participation in shaping how Raleigh moves forward together.
