Mayor McFarlane to Kick-off GoRaleigh Station Renovation Groundbreaking on Feb. 19
Mayor Nancy
McFarlane is the featured speaker for the GoRaleigh
Station renovation groundbreaking ceremony at 10 a.m. Friday, Feb. 19, at Moore Square Transit Mall, 214 S. Blount St. She
will be joined by City Council member Corey Branch who is also the Raleigh
Transit Authority’s Council liaison, and by Raleigh Transit Authority
Chairman Jason Horne.
Formerly
named Moore Square Station, the GoRaleigh Station renovation is scheduled to
take nine to 12 months to complete. Renovations will improve the transit
experience for riders in several ways, including expanded passenger waiting
areas; new restroom facilities; a new information booth; Wi-Fi; real time
passenger information; aesthetic improvements to the reconstructed courtyard
and more. Visuals will be on-site to display the final project.
The
new GoRaleigh station will be reflective of the new GoRaleigh brand. The goal
is to enhance the future of transit in Raleigh and the Triangle by building a
positive impression, not only with daily riders and commuters, but with the
many visitors who frequent the city.
