Southeast High Speed Rail
The Southeast High Speed Rail coalition (SEHSR) proposes construction of a High Speed Rail corridor with an initial segment from Richmond to Raleigh.
One of three proposed routing alternatives (NC3) in the Downtown Raleigh area includes the construction of additional rail lines adjacent to the Historic Glenwood Brooklyn Neighborhood.
The HGBNA, after two meetings and a vote, determined that residents – while supporting high-speed rail service in Raleigh –
are overwhelmingly against NC3.
A position paper outlining the views of HGBNA is available here.
Please take some time to learn what impact this project will have on our neighborhood and city by going to the links above or additional resources shown below.
The Raleigh City Council decided on the City's recommendation to NCDOT on the proposed Southeast High Speed Rail (SEHSR) through Raleigh duirng their September 7 meeting.
The City Council voted on about a dozen items relating to SEHSR, and chose not to endorse any one option, but specifically asked NCDOT to review a recent routing alternative as a mitigation to the NC3 option.
However, the City Council did not recommend that NCDOT remove the NC3 route from consideration.
NCDOT will evaluate the available routing options and public response during the next 6 months before incorporating the chosen route into a request for funding from the Federal Rail Administration scheduled for submission in 2012.

You have the opportunity to join one or both of two e-mail distribution and discussion lists serving the Historic Glenwood Brooklyn Neighborhood Association.
One is for announcements only, which members of the Leadership Council will use infrequently to notify you of upcoming events and time-sensitive news.
There will also be a discussion forum with subscriber manageable delivery options
Members of the discussion forum are asked to consider carefully whether a post will be of value to the community since a discussion forum relies on engaged members.
The association's leadership encourages civil, neighborly discussion of items of general interest. Off-topic posts and angry outbursts are unwelcome.
Likewise, please refrain from:
- Echoing others unless you're also offering new information;
- Posting commercial messages, partisan political appeals; or
- Repeating information you've shared more than once or twice already.
If you ever have difficulty with either list, you can e-mail a real human being via: <> or -- EVEN -- call me at: (919) 834-4478.
