The City of Raleigh contracted the design team, including Apexx Architecture, to provide professional engineering design services, final construction plans, and contract bid documents for the bicycle and pedestrian improvement project located near the heart of downtown Raleigh. The project consists of designing a gateway-pedestrian bridge that crosses Wade Avenue, a six-lane, controlled-access freeway entering Downtown Raleigh, and extensive stakeholder outreach.
