What's the latest?

It's been two months. Can you provide additional information to viability of this project?

I think that this road would be eligible for a sidewalk petition. You do not have to live on the road to ask for a petition but only those homeowners get to vote. https://raleighnc.gov/home/content/PWksDesignConst/Articles/SidewalkPetitions.html Of course that's a weird area and some of those properties are still zoned county rather than city. But you might at least get some more information if you put in a petition. It does look like an important place to finish the sidewalk. Good luck.

Thanks Sammy,

I think the city/county boundaries are part of the issue and don't understand why a select few properties are still county. Regardless, I believe the homeowners would be on board with a sidewalk to keep the foot traffic, strollers, bikes, etc. off their lawn. The petition form requires curb and gutter on city property so I don't believe this technically qualifies. I really hope someone from the city or county will look at this objectively and determine what is needed to provide a safe path for children to get to/from school.

Walked this street yesterday with my daughter in a stroller. Had to pull into several yards to avoid oncoming traffic. Please provide some type of update!

Has anyone reached out to the : church, vet, or single residence along that strip? Could each owner simple build a ‘gravel walkway’ along the edge to help? It’s a hazard walking area for all kids and adults. Thx

It would be great to get the property owners to address this but really believe the long-term solution is with the city/county.

Is there any representative reading this who can comment on the status? This was assigned a service request ID over a year ago with no update.

To all on this thread from 2020, I have been poking at this same issue as a parent of Jeffreys Grove students that walk to school. With the help of our city councilor I’ve been in touch with some CoR people earlier in 2021 who helped guide on the options for tackling this challenge. It still likely boils down to the sidewalk petition process mentioned here already but there might be other options to pursue.
I’m in touch with the Jeffreys Grove PTA and through them the school leaders too. There seem to be plenty of people interested in the topic and related issues like the plague of wrong way drivers overtaking the carpool line.
I don’t think a SeeClickFix ticket is going to be the route to a solution so I suggest we coordinate on this elsewhere. You can ping my email (paul at pauledge.com) to get in touch. Thanks!

This location is not maintained by the City of Raleigh. We will close this inquiry at this time, as only the City uses SeeClickFix to track issues in our area.
