South Street is the likely path of the Chavis-Dix Strollway, a planned 1.2-mile pathway connecting Dorothea Dix and John Chavis Memorial parks. The Strollway will include art, historical markers and other features to encourage walking and cycling between two signature downtown parks.

Raleigh City Council voted Tuesday to close a portion of South Street to allow the relocation of Red Hat Amphitheater. That decision will have a lasting impact on the city as whole.
