Long-awaited pedestrian bridge opens near the Lenovo Center in West Raleigh
The signature red steel bridge over Wade Avenue in West Raleigh opens Saturday, providing safe passage for cyclists and pedestrians along a stretch of Blue Ridge Road near the N.C. Museum of Art . The bridge and connecting sidewalks are the first in what could be several changes in how people move about the area around the Lenovo Center as it develops into a 24-hour destination in coming years. It’s a milestone in the development of the area, said Nathan Spencer of the West Raleigh Alliance, a community group . “This bridge is the culmination of years of work by the alliance, in partnership with NCDOT and the City of Raleigh, to create a safe, dedicated pedestrian crossing for everyone: residents, State Fair visitors, concertgoers, and Wolfpack and Canes fans alike,” said Spencer, who co-chairs the group’s transit and transportation committee. The bridge will officially open at 11:30 a.m. as part of a wider celebration organized by the alliance and the city. “West Raleigh Multimodal Day,” as the event is called, aims to highlight the various ways of moving to and through a part of the city that draws visitors from throughout the region. The bridge parallels Blue Ridge Road

Full story: Man got a $90 ticket parking legally on a Raleigh street. He fought back — and won. Here’s what happened and what you can do if you have a similar experience: Jerry Canterbury found a notice of noncompliance from Parking Revenue Recovery Services on his car in late September, demanding $90 within 30 days. He had photos showing he was parked within painted lines on a public street, not in the private lot PRRS manages. Canterbury disputed the ticket online, reported it to Raleigh’s parking division and alerted the state Department of Justice. On Oct. 1, the city’s transportation department told Canterbury that the citation would be dismissed. PRRS has received more than 900 complaints from customers on the Better Business Bureau in the past 12 months. In 2023, the Colorado attorney general settled with the company, after it charged fines of $80 to $88 to drivers for issues including entering license plates incorrectly and missing 15-minute grace periods.
