1.
Complete a Fayetteville Street Renaissance
to reinvigorate the Street as the heart of Raleigh, our ceremonial corridor and the premiere address for office, events and cultural activity. 		2.
Fund and build a new Convention Center & Hotel
to attract conventions and trade shows and improve the business environment for hotels, restaurants and other visitor services.		 3.
Improve the pedestrian environment
making downtown accessible to everyone. Balance the needs of pedestrians against those of the car. Create an attractive, well lit, safe environment that links office and residential uses to amenities such as restaurants, museums and other venues.

4.
Undertake regulatory reform
to improve the business climate by removing regulatory impediments, making it just as easy to do business downtown as any place in the region. Explore adding incentives in the regulations.

 

 5.
Expand downtown management
to take a one stop approach to management and advocacy.
There are a total of over 130 strategies proposed in the Action Plan under twelve headings. These five were chosen because of their ability to be a catalyst for others, to build momentum and to excite all members of the community. One or more of the Livable Streets Partners has agreed to accept responsibility for each of the five. Each has already begun moving toward completion. As one is finished, others will be undertaken until we have the vibrant, active and livable streets that we all desire.
