RALEIGH – In response to concerns raised by the community, the N.C. Department of Transportation is engaging in a new public input process regarding the I-440 interchange improvements at Glenwood Avenue and nearby roads, including Ridge Road.
Today, the department held the first of three facilitated listening sessions scheduled this month. Residents had an opportunity to give the NCDOT a better understanding of their ideas and concerns about the project.
The sessions each involve small groups of residents meeting with a facilitator to talk about the project. Input gathered at these listening sessions, along with other objective project information, will be used to develop design options, which will be presented to the public for further comment later in the process.
Area residents who are not already signed up for a session, but still wish to express their thoughts about the project are encouraged to register as soon as possible.
The remaining two listening sessions are both being held at Martin Middle School, 1701 Ridge Road:
- Tuesday, Sept. 25, 6 to 8:30 p.m.
- Saturday, Sept. 29, 9:30 a.m. to noon
