Our Projects

Oaks and Spokes is working to create a better transportation future for Raleigh. Some of our current projects we are helping to implement or support include:

Working with the City of Raleigh and the Bicycle Pedestrian Advocacy Commission or BPAC, Oaks and Spokes supported a pop-up traffic garden. This event was took place in collaboration with our State Street pop-up protected  bike lane.  We are working to provide support to the City as they continue to consider options for expanding traffic gardens.

This community activation was our first pop-up bike lane and helped our community envision a new reality for our community. With cones, volunteers, and generous sponsors we transformed our community to make it people powered, by design.

In May 2021, Oaks and Spokes helped to host a pop-up protected bike lane on S. State Street to test solutions for traffic calming measures.

The pop-up that started it all! Our Harrington Street Pop-Up provided our 1st opportunity to host a community facing event to help test out a separated bike lane Downtown Raleigh.

This bike lane resulted in our first bollard separated lanes in Downtown Raleigh. 

In partnership with the City of Raleigh we helped support the transportation piece of the Stroll in the Streets. This was Raleigh’s first open streets event. Lenoir and S. Saunders Street were closed between Chavis and Dix Park. 

The project received a grant from Congresswoman Deborah Ross’ Office for $3 million to build both the connector and the South Park Heritage Walk. Planning for the design and construction of these projects is currently underway.  You can read more about it on the City of Raleigh’s website here.
