1.0 - Site Overview This plan explores the opportuni es and design innova ons for the development of an urban park, known as North Capital Boulevard Park (NCBP). The approximately 20.2 acre site is parallel to Capital Blvd. (US 401) in the City of Raleigh. The boundary of the site is established as the median of Capital Blvd. between Atlan c Ave. and Crabtree Blvd. (Figure 1). The overall study area encompasses approximately 295 acres of transi onal, non-residen al land uses surrounding the future park site. This area is roughly bounded by the exis ng CSX Rail-line to the west, Hodges Rd. to the north and parcels of non-residen al land uses to the east and south (Figure 2).
