City of Raleigh issued the following announcement on Oct. 2.
Raleigh’s first downtown open streets event, Stroll in the Streets, is Sunday, Oct. 17. During the event, the 1.3-mile stretch along Lenoir Street and South Saunders Street between Chavis and Dix Parks will be closed to traffic to allow for walking, biking, art and play stations, food trucks, and more! Join us at this event to help us imagine the possibilities of this strollway.
Event Details
- Sunday, October 17, noon to 5 p.m.
- Route: The multi-modal (walking, biking, scooters, etc.) route between John Chavis Memorial Park and Dorothea Dix Park runs from Lenoir Street to West Street to South Street to South Saunders Street.
The Chavis-Dix Strollway is being planned and the goal of the one-day event is to imagine the possibilities. People who come to Stroll in the Streets are invited to experience the temporary strollway and provide feedback. A survey will ask people ‘What would make the strollway accessible, meaningful, and inviting to you?’ Look for the information tent at the intersection of Wilmington Street and Lenoir Street to learn more and take our survey.
