This aerial visualization of the new Capital Boulevard Bridge replacements was posted by the Raleigh Connoisseur Blog yesterday. We’ve taken a screen shot from the video and posted it here and included an overlay showing the location of the recently announced development projects.
It’s easy to see from this view how the new bridge ramps and associated changes to the area’s street grid have already become a catalyst for redevelopment of this previously neglected area.
Reference the previous post on this blog, Glenwood South’s Northeast Corner – Frontier of Possibility.
What could really make this project is a bike/pedestrian bridge across Capital around Fairview or Wade. Capital is like a canyon separating east and west Would be great to reconnect Five Points and Mordecai / Capital Park area.
