RALEIGH – The public has an opportunity to tell city planners what it thinks of the city’s proposed $212 million Union Station.

The building would be a central stop for all the transit moving in and out of the downtown area. Triangle Transit’s proposed light rail also would use the station.

While the total price tag is $212 million, the city only would be on the hook for as much as $21 million.
