Students to Present Conceptual Designs for Peace Street at City of Raleigh Museum Friday

Students from the College of Design at North Carolina State University are collaborating with the City of Raleigh’s Urban Design Center to develop ideas to revitalize Peace Street from Glenwood Avenue to Person Street. These landscape architecture and architecture students will present their conceptual designs at a First Friday event this Friday, May 3, at the City of Raleigh Museum, 220 Fayetteville St. The event, open to the public, will be held from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m.

The Peace Street corridor project will include designs for a new bridge at the Capital Boulevard intersection, a transit stop for future light-rail service, a 15-acre park along Pigeon House Branch, bus shelters, public art and street renovations.

The public also is invited to participate in an online survey regarding possible renovations along Peace Street. The survey can be found at http://ncsu.qualtrics.com//SE/?SID=SV_bxSD4qftP95nPr7. Survey sponsors hope to have the results in time for Friday’s event.
