In our agenda preview for the March 15 City Council meeting, we take a look at issues ranging from a design contract for a set of new firehouses, a newly established no-parking zone, a student housing project near NC State’s Centennial Campus, and the possibility of allowing Food Trucks in certain public right-of-ways.
Happening Now-ish
The Lynnwood Bluffs townhome community in Northeast Raleigh will soon welcome an additional five units to the development. New owners will have to make the impossible choice between a 1,361 square-foot Cooper floor plan, and the spacious 1,378 square-foot Ashton layout. A Cooper in Lynnwood Bluffs, located near the intersection of Glenwood and Lynn, is currently listing for $189,000. Although it’ll be summer before the long-awaited community pool at Lynnwood Bluffs finally opens, their neighbors to the east will soon bear witness to the creation of a 12,032 sq ft outdoor pool at the new Life Time Fitness on Falls of Neuse near the 540 interchange. According to permits filed with the city, the plan calls for a “Pool, Spa & Slide” at a total cost of $900,000.
