Downtown Raleigh Alliance Wants Your Feedback on Parking, Safety, and Mobility

If you live, work, or spend time in Downtown Raleigh, now is your chance to help shape its future.

The Downtown Raleigh Alliance (DRA) has officially launched its Annual Community Survey, inviting residents, business owners, and visitors to share their thoughts on key issues impacting the heart of the city — including parking, safety, mobility, and overall priorities for downtown growth.

Why This Survey Matters

Each year, the Downtown Raleigh Alliance gathers feedback from the greater Raleigh community to better understand how people experience downtown. The insights collected help guide planning, improvements, and advocacy efforts that directly impact daily life in the city.

This year’s survey carries even more weight.

With ongoing conversations around major downtown parking changes, community input is critical. Proposed updates could affect nearly every aspect of parking in Downtown Raleigh, and until now, there has been limited opportunity for stakeholders to weigh in.

Key Topics in the Survey

Participants can share feedback on:

🚗 Downtown parking availability and proposed changes
🚶 Walkability and pedestrian experience
🚲 Mobility options including biking and transit
🛡️ Public safety and overall comfort downtown
🌆 Top priorities for future development and improvements

Whether you’re a daily commuter, small business owner, or weekend visitor, your perspective helps shape how downtown evolves.

Your Voice Matters

The Downtown Raleigh Alliance is encouraging everyone in the community to take part. The survey is anonymous and takes about 10 minutes to complete.

This is a valuable opportunity to highlight what’s working, what needs improvement, and what you want to see next for Downtown Raleigh.

Help Shape the Future of Downtown Raleigh

Downtown Raleigh continues to grow and change, and community input plays a major role in guiding that progress. From parking policies to safety improvements, your feedback can directly influence decisions that affect the entire city.

👉 Take a few minutes to share your thoughts and be part of the conversation.

Because when the community speaks, Raleigh moves forward — together.
