It’s been a few late nights in a big week of #DOLRT work. Glad to be riding @AmtrakPiedmont 80 to #Raleigh today for meetings instead of driving!
A moment from this morning’s trip to @DCHCMPO in the #DOLRT corridor - traffic backed up onto the #Durham freeway, with probably 12 people in cars and 40 people in two buses on the ramp with me. We’ll have 560 new neighbors this time next month.
A quick @BirdRide across downtown and now it’s time to talk Affordable Housing and light rail with @NCDOT #dolrt
Riding @AmtrakPiedmont to #Raleigh for meetings with @RTATriangle and @NCDOT today! Track work midday means I will likely take @GoTriangle #DRX back to #Durham for our #dolrt light rail open house this evening. Rail + bus = getting it done. ✅
Excited to see @spolikov telling #Railvolution #RVPGH audience about our work on station area planning for #DOLRT in #Durham & #ChapelHill! @GoTriangle re-positioned rail alignment to increase economic development/TOD/community benefit opportunities.
Greenfield Place is on a bus route and is probably a 6-8 minute bus ride from the future Gateway #DOLRT station.
Two men on @GoTriangle 405 near me talking on their way to work, and it comes up that one of them lives in Greenfield Place (Permanently Affordable) Apts in #ChapelHill. The other asks how to apply to live there. #ConnectingToOpportunity #DOLRT
Commuting in the #DOLRT corridor an hour earlier than usual. Traffic still rolling slow on NC147 just outside of Downtown #Durham. We’ll have another 560+ new neighbors a month from now.
Sitting on 15-501 on the @GoTriangle 405 with @touchejay, being painfully reminded of why we work on #DOLRT every day. Another 500 people will have moved to the #Durham/#ChapelHill metro area 30 days from now.
.@annhard2tell brings her A-game analyst skills and finds the same thing I did: @CityofDurhamNC is on track to pass @greensborocity in population 2 to 3 years **BEFORE** #DOLRT opens. #Durham will likely be the 3rd largest NC city by 2025/2026.
Sunday afternoon data quiz: light rail is scheduled to open linking #Durham and #ChapelHill in 2028. Based on 2010-2017 growth rates, how many years from the opening of #DOLRT will @CityofDurhamNC surpass @greensborocity to become the third-largest city in NC? Reply w/your guess.
#Durham is number 1 commuting destination for Orange County residents. That’s why we’re planning for #DOLRT. #CHCSOTC
Took the bike on @GoTriangle 405 in the future #DOLRT corridor this morning; now parking in our new bike room at the office!
Life has handed me a crazy Multimodal week. Since Monday AM: @chtransit CW + @GoTriangle 405 + @Amtrak 80 + @lyft + @GrtcPulse + @lyft + @Amtrak 79 + @GoTriangle 400 + @lyft + @chtransit CW + @GoTriangle CRX + @BirdRide + @AmtrakPiedmont 77 + @GoTriangle ODX. #DOLRT #WakeTransit

Rolling out of #Carrboro on @GoTriangle 405 this morning to work on #DOLRT. Another great 🚲 to 🚌 morning weather wise!
The fam hit the #Carrboro #BikeBreakfast (thanks @BikeCarrboro!) this morning, and now it’s @GoTriangle 405 to #Durham to work on #DOLRT and #WakeTransit. The pimento cheese biscuits from @nealsdeli hit the spot!
Current view out the front of @GoTriangle 405 on NC 147. This is why we need dedicated light rail tracks for #DOLRT. By this time next month, 600 new neighbors will have moved to the #Durham- #ChapelHill metro area.
