One of the real estate effects of this is that the master plan for Renaissance Park calls for quite a bit of commercial development on the property surrounding the planned realigned Tryon Road. Until the road opens, nothing will be built because the the drive-by traffic necessary to succeed won’t be there.

Obviously the city is missing out on substantial tax revenues by this land sitting quiet. Not to mention the fact that home construction and sales in the Renaissance Park will most certainly pick up when this project is completed–which will also add much needed revenue to the city.

Great summary with not so great conclusion.
Beside the hunt for source of money, the amount of money ($5 mln for widening minor bridge) seems to be extreme for such project. Knowing that road building profitability is in line with Wall Street and insurance firms, they might locate more sensible alternative to trim the fat.
Putting completion deadline of Tryon Rd. widening by 2015 in question is not very inspiring. This could cause chicken and egg game with funding for bridge and widening of Tryon.
While money being dealt we need some more voices to keep these two or actually three projects together as a package. Road building is more about politics than actual need so who screams more will get the dough. Do I see signs and banners around the bridge to bring public awareness to high alert visible from downtown?

Comment on Shopping Ideas Needed for SWCAC by SouthRaleighGuy

Not only does South Raleigh desperately need a grocery store and a pharmacy, but also that area could use a gym/health club. Anyone else notice there’s not a single one between downtown and White Oak area? Nada. There was once a nice one in Chapanoke Square about ten years ago…wish it’d come back.
Some nice non-chain restaurants would be good too.

Comment on The Garner Death Curve by JMo

huff … alot of DOT slamming in your post. Maybe you haven’t noticed this, but ALL paving stops during the winter. You can’t pave in cold weather. Google “Cold Weather Paving” and educate yourself ….. or ….. continue to spew forth ignorance.

I’d like to see this bridge replaced soon and the curve removed. Most of the realignment has already been done by Renaissance and US 401 is a more logical termini for the Tryon widening.
