Raleigh eliminated parking minimums and established maximums citywide. Parking minimums increase costs of housing, goods and services and are bad for the environment. Eliminating parking minimums doesn’t eliminate parking, but it does prioritize people over car storage. #ralpol

We’re investing more resources in bike infrastructure and it’s paying off. 2x more people bike to work than 5 years ago. Crashes down & safety improved. More work to do, but giving folks options to get around w/out cars is how we build sustainable city.

Raleigh's investment in cycling infrastructure paying off in big way, data shows

Not only are there fewer crashes but, when there is a crash, it's less likely to result in an injury, according to the data.

The before & after of riding a bike on Gorman Street is amazing. Seamless connection b/w Reedy Creek and Rocky Branch Trails along the @ECGreenway . Today, I felt zero stress and for the first time wasn’t worried about a speeding car coming in too hot or close. Thanks @RaleighGov

"...I think if Downtown South is fully-realized, it would be a great tourism-generating project. So, my initial thought is, I would be supportive," Melton said. Melton proclaimed any development needs to happen with equity in mind.

Good morning @ office hours. Was asked if I’m anti car. No, husband & I own 1 car & use if needed. I’m pro multimodal. If you need/want car, fewer cars on road, less traffic, more parking. If you don’t want/can’t afford car, you should be able to get around safely too. #ralpol

Still have a lot of work to do. These were the fast, necessary changes. I campaigned on, and still support, subpoena power for police board. I also oppose use of tear gas or any chemical agent on our community. I am committed to working towards larger systemic changes. #ralpol

We have a lot of work to do. But first we need to listen. That’s why I joined @Saige4Raleigh and @Nicole4Raleigh in calling for a special virtual meeting Thursday, June 7 at 7 p.m. No advance sign up will be required. A number will be provided to call in. We hear you. #ralpol

Proud Raleigh is listed. We actually switched parking minimums to maximums. Minimum parking requirements increase the cost of housing, goods, services. Eliminating minimums doesn’t mean parking won’t be built, it just means there’s not an arbitrary amount for new projects.

In almost every American city, the minimum number of parking built is mandated by state and municipal ordinances dating back to the 1960s. These antiquated mandates not only rob property owners of choice, but they’re often arbitrary. It's time to end them.
