Public forum on transit scheduled for June 26
12 Jun
The Triangle needs some form of reliable, timely public transportation to connect us. Sure you can catch a bus in Raleigh, Durham and Chapel Hill. You can even catch a bus between the cities (though as downtown Raleigh blogger Leo recently discovered, there are some issues with it). But efforts to bring other mass transit to the Triangle have stalled mostly because it’s super expensive.
But if you’re interested in finding out what speed bumps really stand in the way of bringing enhanced transit to the Triangle, then steer yourself over to N.C. State University next week for a forum aimed at raising awareness about transit issues.
The event is called “Transit: Is Wake County Ready for It?” and is being sponsored by Wake Up Wake County, a group of residents who educate others about the effects of local growth. It runs from 7 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. Thursday June 26 at NCSU’s McKimmon Center, 1101 Gorman St., Raleigh.
The keynote speakers are Carol Coletta, who leads CEO’s for Cities and hosts an NPR syndicated program called “Smart Cities” and Keith Parker, CEO of Charlotte’s CATS, the city’s new rail service.
The forum will provide an evening of open dialogue about the real potential for transit’s success in Wake County. WakeUP hopes that the event will propel the community to action as it evaluates the recommendations recently made by the Special Transit Advisory Committee and the state’s 21st Century Transportation Committee. No other citizen group in Wake County is organizing a similar public education event on transit.
A panel discussion on transit in the Triangle will be moderated by Nina Szlosberg, DOT and 21st Century Transportation CommitteeBoard member. Members of the panel will include Smedes York (STAC co-chair), Courtney Crowder (SE Raleigh Assembly), Mary Ann Baldwin (Raleigh City Council), Matt Christiansen (KB Home) and other business leaders in Wake County. There will be no admission charge.
The problem in Raleigh is that everything is so spread out. It just doesn’t seem to be feasible to have public transportation connecting all the various areas of raleigh – North Raleigh, RTP, downtown, North Hills, Glenwood South, Briar Creek (if you can even call that Raleigh), etc. But I’m not public transportation expert so I’m interested in hearing the ideas that come out of this forum.
So, is this specifically for Wake County or for the Triangle in general?
Allen,
It appears that the forum will also focus on Triangle issues … here’s a line from the press release:
Overview of new proposal for regional transit in Wake and the Triangle
Thank you! Living in Durham (a slightly more centralized city), I’m very interested in inter-city transportation that could become better Triangle Transit. One day, probably a long time from now, we’ll have a decent train system. Hey, who knows? Maybe higher gas prices will produce reverse urban sprawl?
I am here at a forum newcomer. Until I read and deal with the forum.
Let’s learn!

I require honesty,integrity and monogamy. I do not play emotional games and expect the same. I like planned week-ends but love spontaneity. I am a great catch for the right man. im not looking for anything other than a good time and maybe a new friend. I’m looking also for a possible couple to swap with me and my boyfriend so if your interested let me know. And this may sound weird but he would also like to watch me with someone else from time to time. But im also looking for a steady fwb. I’m looking for a guy who wants a little fun. I love Sex and i’m looking for a NSA intimate Encounter. I’m not looking for anything serious. If you’re looking for a woman to fulfill your sexual fantasies with, send me a message.
Sexual brief encounters only. No drama. Nothing long term. Pics should be enough information when u send yours you will get mine. Hello there. I am hoping to meet singles locally to spend time with and get to know better. I am not able to immediately relocate at this time. Good luck on your search. God Bless. I am close with all of my family and I like to do things with them and my friends. One of my goals is to meet the guy who is perfect for me and that I am perfect for in return. Somedone who I have things in common with and also share with andf who will do that with me in return. Someone who is honest, caring, funny, and considerate.
