So I wonder how many of those 50k jobs would be WFH?

Ingesting 50k+ more people into downtown as it is seems like it would be a nightmare.

Correct me if I am wrong, but isnt the 50,000 new employees over a 10 year period? So we will have some time to build infrastructure to help with the inflow. However, I am not sure how that 50,000 is spread over the 10 years.

Except we're probably already 7-10 years behind the infrastructure that should already be in place.

I'm sure some of those people would work remotely or travel.

^^ what infastructure exactly are we behind on?

Parking, for one. Assuming they'll be building their own tower, likely they'll have a parking deck, but still, there isn't enough parking in downtown Raleigh. Roads leading into Raleigh are way behind. Live in southern Wake? Good luck getting anywhere around Ten-Ten road. 401 is a cluster going north into Raleigh as well as coming south.

there is loads of parking in downtown raleigh, parking in raleigh is great

^^ so traffic congestion during rush hour means our infrastructure is 7-10 years behind?

6/1/2018 12:19:14 PM

your roads are fine

^^^ yeah but it's not free like it used to be...

But compared to most other cities Raleigh does have good parking, we're just not use to paying for it like in other places, or having to walk 3-4 blocks from our parking location.

I think it would be cool if we had efficient mass transit from suburban areas into the Raleigh, sort of how the the Long Island Express in New York works, that would relieve a lot of the vehicle traffic issues.

Monthly parking for workers in downtown is not good. We recently hired a couple new people at my office, and they had to pay for daily parking every day for like a month before being able to get into a monthly lot

Yup. And looks like no intention to build more parking even with more skyscrapers being built. Going to push the need to use park and ride services to keep downtown from getting too congested.

Raleigh's population has doubled in less than 20 years. And the roads system from 440 inward has barely changed at all. I'd call that behind. And the roadways to RTP are an even bigger joke.

The RTP-Raleigh area is at least 10-15 years behind.

Oh, but thank God for the southern section of 540 that leads to nowhere and is barely used. Thank God we have that...

Apple confirmed for cary

*New Apple Store confirmed for Cary Towne Center

Apple signed a lease for a commercial building

Raleigh is also a finalist for an Army command center (I think research related)
