Raleigh City Council Recap: Traffic Calming Changes, Budget Discussions, and Key Rezoning Decisions

The Raleigh City Council held its June 1 Budget Work Session and June 2 Afternoon and Evening Meetings, tackling topics ranging from traffic calming reforms and budget priorities to rezonings, public hearings, and environmental resilience.

Here are the biggest takeaways Raleigh residents should know.

Major Changes Coming to Raleigh’s Traffic Calming Program

One of the most significant actions taken by Council was the unanimous approval of recommendations from the Transportation and Transit Committee to streamline traffic calming decisions.

Under the new approach:

• Neighborhood ballots will no longer be required for speed limit reductions.
• Neighborhood ballots will no longer be required for line-of-sight improvements.
• Multi-way stop decisions will no longer require neighborhood voting.
• Authority for these decisions will be delegated to the City’s Transportation Director.
• Ballots will also be eliminated for traffic safety improvements that meet objective safety standards.

Council members noted that city staff often face communication challenges when working with neighborhoods on traffic safety issues. Several members highlighted Community Advisory Councils (CACs) as a potential tool for improving public engagement.

Council also requested additional information regarding proposed three-year waiting periods before certain traffic calming measures could be removed.

Budget Public Hearing Draws Community Feedback

Residents had an opportunity to weigh in on the proposed FY 2026-27 Operating and Capital Budget during a statutory public hearing.

Seventeen people signed up to speak, although five did not appear. Speakers addressed a variety of topics including:

• Affordable housing
• Tree preservation and expansion
• Infill development
• Rising cost of living
• Transportation and safe streets

The feedback will help inform upcoming budget discussions as Council continues refining the FY27 budget.

Budget Work Session Highlights

Downtown Raleigh Bandstand Proposal Delayed

Council reviewed a budget note requesting funding for:

• A bandstand/performance stage at City Plaza
• Permanent public art installations on City Plaza pedestals

Council Member Jonathan Lambert-Melton explained the proposal originated from discussions with the Economic Development and Innovation Committee and Downtown Raleigh Alliance.

Council voted to defer consideration of the bandstand until the FY 2028 budget cycle and directed staff to explore sponsorship opportunities. A decision on public art funding is expected later this year after the budget process concludes.

Tree Planting Initiative Under Review

Mayor Pro Tem Corey Branch Harrison continued advocating for a large-scale tree planting initiative aimed at adding approximately 24,000 trees throughout Raleigh.

A proposed $650,000 funding commitment was discussed but ultimately postponed until the next budget work session. Staff will return with additional recommendations and implementation details before Council takes action.

Additional Budget Information Requested

Council members also reviewed reports comparing:

• Municipal services provided by peer cities
• Historical solid waste fee increases
• General Fund subsidies supporting solid waste enterprise operations in other municipalities

These comparisons are intended to help guide future budget decisions and service investments.

Drinking Water Supply and Wastewater Concerns Raised

Mayor Pro Tem Harrison requested further discussion regarding Raleigh’s long-term drinking water supply.

City Manager Marchell Adams-David indicated that the issue may be addressed through a committee assignment or future work session, emphasizing the importance of regional collaboration.

Harrison also requested an incident report related to the Turkey Creek wastewater spill.

Urban Heat Resilience Takes Center Stage

Council received an update on Raleigh’s Urban Heat Resilience efforts during the June 2 afternoon session.

The presentation highlighted the city’s first Urban Heat Resilience tabletop exercise and included a new video featuring community partners working to improve preparedness during extreme heat events.

The update coincided with Global Heat Action Day and the beginning of the summer heat season.

Pride Month Proclamation Issued

Mayor Janet Cowell officially proclaimed June as LGBTQ+ Pride Month in Raleigh during the afternoon session.

The proclamation recognized the contributions and diversity of Raleigh’s LGBTQ+ community.

Rezoning and Development Updates

Downtown Rezoning Approved

Council unanimously approved:

Rezoning Z-01-26

• 307 W. Martin Street
• 311 Commerce Place
• 322 W. Davie Street

The approval clears the way for future development opportunities in Downtown Raleigh.

Creedmoor Road Case Delayed

Council unanimously postponed:

Text Change TCZ-02-26

• 4601 Creedmoor Road
• Intersection of Creedmoor Road and Glenwood Avenue

The case was delayed until July 7 due to insufficient public notice in The News & Observer.

Litchford Road Rezoning Returns to Planning Commission

Council voted unanimously to send the following case back to the Planning Commission after the applicant introduced significant new conditions:

Rezoning Z-43-25

• 6309 Litchford Road

Upcoming Public Hearings

Residents should be aware of several major hearings scheduled for June 16, including:

• Multiple annexation requests
• Rezoning cases in Downtown Raleigh
• New Bern Avenue redevelopment proposals
• Jones Ridge Trail development requests
• Street name change at North Hills

Additional rezoning hearings are scheduled throughout July.

Community Announcements from Council Members

Councilor Christina Jones announced:

• District meeting on June 10 from 6–8 p.m. at La Cucina Italian Restaurant
• Decoding Democracy Book Club on June 13 at 9:30 a.m. at New World Café
• Virtual Council Agenda Review session on June 15 from 6–7:30 p.m.

Councilor Megan Patton requested additional city guidance regarding motorbike safety and public awareness efforts.

What Happens Next?

Budget discussions will continue throughout June as Council works toward adopting the FY 2026-27 budget.

Key issues expected to return include:

• Tree planting funding
• Public art investments
• Transportation safety improvements
• Water supply planning
