  • Car-Sharing Program comes to Downtown Raleigh

    Raleigh Downtown Living Advocates announces WeCar now available

    Though car sharing programs normally begin when big businesses or universities get involved, (offering their cars when available to nearby residents as a way to offset their costs), the DLA recognized the benefit for residents, so we decided to take it upon ourselves to get things going and went about finding a sponsor.

    And, we did it - car sharing in Downtown Raleigh starts today!

    Ann-Cabell Baum Andersen, a board member of the DLA and owner of Glenwood Agency, is sponsoring the initial two cars for the program. On behalf of all Downtown residents, we thank her for stepping up and making it all happen.

    “I'm confident that other downtown businesses will want to join me in supporting a car- sharing program that provides alternative transportation options for their employees," said Baum Andersen. "The people in the downtown Raleigh community have always supported my business and I wanted to give back to the community. What better way than to help launch a car-share program?”

    The city government agrees that this kind of alternative transit option is needed, and now that the service is here, we expect other businesses government agencies, and possibly even local universities to jump on board.

    “Providing a car-sharing option to the residents and business community in downtown Raleigh is a step in achieving our mission of supporting balanced and sustainable growth for downtown”, said Mayor Meeker. “Offering residents and downtown workers an efficient and convenient transportation solution through WeCar, makes using other methods of transportation a more viable option for day-to-day commuting.”

    Durham Gears Up for Construction on Stimulus-Funded Projects

    All Three Projects Begin May 3; Some Trail Closures Planned and Minor Street Traffic Delays Expected

    DURHAM, N.C. - Beginning Monday, May 3, 2010, residents will note construction on portions of Ellerbe Creek Trail and the American Tobacco Trail, as well as street and sidewalk construction and repair on multiple streets throughout Durham.

    To begin repairs and resurfacing, the portion of the Ellerbe Creek Trail between West Lavender Avenue and West Murray Avenue will be closed effective May 3, along with the entry road to the Northgate Dog Park, since 200 feet of the trail also serves as the park entry. The Northgate Dog Park will be closed for up to two weeks at some point during the 90-day construction timeframe as repairs are made to the entry.

    Work on portions of the American Tobacco Trail will also begin May 3, with repairs being made from Morehead Avenue to Southpoint Crossings as well as the Riddle Road section of the trail. Closures on these portions of the trail will be ongoing throughout the 90-day construction timeframe as the City's contractor moves around to complete repairs and resurfacing work.

    Both trail projects, funded by the American Recovery & Reinvestment Act (ARRA), will cost $297,550. More information about these trail projects can be found here.

    The final project beginning on May 3 is the reconfiguration of the intersection of Miami Boulevard at Geer Street. This project will last up to 60 days with vehicle and pedestrian traffic being maintained throughout the project. Flaggers with be used to direct traffic and motorists should expect minor delays. This project, also funded by the ARRA, will cost $69,864. More information can be found here.
