RALEIGH, N.C. (WTVD) -- Raleigh City Council is set to tackle a packed agenda Tuesday, with discussions that could reshape the downtown area.

Key topics include affordable housing, a controversial downtown tower , bus rapid transit construction, noise ordinances and the expansion of the city's social district.

The proposed changes would extend the "Sip and Stroll" district to 111 Seaboard Avenue business strip. Participation would remain optional for each business. Local business owners, like Madison Acevedo, manager of Biscuit Belly, support the idea, saying it offers a unique way for people to connect and enjoy the city.

The meeting begins at 1 p.m., and if approved, the expanded social district could take effect on November 14.
