The North Carolina Capital Area Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) is inviting qualified consulting firms or persons to submit Project Proposals to conduct a Corridor Study along the Knightdale Boulevard (US 64 Business) Corridor from the Neuse River at the Town of Knightdale’s western boundary to the intersection of NC 97 in the Town of Wendell. This study will evaluate the safety and mobility along Knightdale Blvd (U.S. 64 Business) including investigating signal operations, Bus Rapid Transit impacts to the coridor, and bike/pedestrian facilities. 

This study should result in an overall multi-modal transportation vision of the Knightdale Blvd (U.S. 64 Business) corridor with a focus on safety, congestion, mobility and transit. Expected outcomes include:

• Existing and projected traffic volumes and identification of deficiencies;
• Review of existing traffic signal operations and recommendations for ITS improvements to optimize travel times and improve safety;
• Functional roadway designs and cross section that can accommodate a future BRT extension;
• Recommendation of potential intersection improvements, and associated costs, at safety and/or congestion hotspot areas;
• Land-use review and how revitalization along corridor could occur in support of future transit investments; and
• Development of visualizations of recommendations for stakeholders and public consumption.

The selected consultant is expected to provide recommendations and final deliverables to the clinet and deliver final project presentation to local governing boards no later than the anticipated completion date of June 30, 2028. Completed Proposals are due no later than 5:00 p.m. on Friday June 12, 2026, with a Notice to Proceed anticipated to be issued in late August 2026.
