The city of Raleigh is reviewing possible solutions for traffic congestion around the Crabtree Valley Mall area. A recently released study includes options like widening the street behind Crabtree Valley Mall to funnel in more drivers and separating mall-bound traffic on Glenwood Avenue.
Tuesday’s swift series of city council meetings revolved around one thing: filling the vacancy left in District C by councilman James West’s appointment to the Wake County Board of Commissioners. A six-member majority voted to appoint Eugene Weeks to the seat representing District C, concentrated in southeast Raleigh.
Starting Friday, Raleigh residents will have a free way to get around downtown. The city has a new circulator bus that will run every 10 to 15 minutes around downtown-from Glenwood South, to the convention center, up Wilmington Street and down Peace Street back to Glenwood.

Folks downtown will have a new way to get around early next year. The city released its plan for a downtown circulator bus for public comment today. The circulator will run from Peace Street, down Glenwood South, over to Dawson and loop around to come back up Wilmington. The proposal has two buses on the route, to have a bus come around every 10 minutes.
