The online draft of the study report was released for public review in early July. Online comments were open until August 8th. Over summer, overview presentations were made to CAC’s, several Boards, and Commissions for feedback including Southwest CAC, Central CAC, 2 Public briefing sessions, District D Alliance, RHDC, Appearance Commission, and Raleigh Transit Authority. All comments and feedback received to date have been evaluated by consultants and the report updated subsequently.
