Duke Street Walking Tour

A lot is happening on Duke Street — affordable housing construction, plans for new bus rapid transit, a public revisioning initiative for the corridor, and more. Come out Saturday, June 6 to get an inside look, visiting a key segment west of the King St Metro, from S. Quaker Ln to W. Taylor Run.
Hear from city planners, housing staff and local advocates. See the new Witter Place, 94-unit all-affordable apartment building. Explore themes like how to preserve space for local small businesses, incorporate needed housing, add public gathering spaces, and make the area more walkable.
