City Council Retreat – here we go again
Once again Raleigh City Council is having a Retreat without telling the public when it is or where it is even though it is a PUBLIC meeting. No time, no place and no agenda 2 days before the event.
Is Astroturf a Significant Benefit?
When a developer asks for support from council, there were to be significant benefits to the community, but we the voters get only Astroturf, artwork, and a bench? Other cities have received ice skating rinks and, at a minimum, public bathrooms. The council needs to get developers to provide infrastructure and get significant benefits as it says in the plan. It seems easy for you to say no to voters, so try exercising some of that courage with the developers.
David goes up against Goliath one more time
As elected officials, it is your prime responsibility to support all areas of the City with smart development and infrastructure spending to support it. Follow the guidance that you have been given in both the Midtown area plan and Comprehensive Plan.
Do not extinguish the bright burning candle of the Comprehensive Plan
Please resist any suggestions not to take the Comprehensive into consideration, and that it is only a guide. Please vote to uphold the Comprehensive Plan on Z-34-25 and damn any torpedoes that may come your way as a result of your “No” vote.
Livable Raleigh & Former Mayor ask Council to Support Residents & DENY North Hills Rezoning
There is a groundswell of opposition to Kane Realty’s request to rezone several of its properties at North Hills to allow taller buildings, up to 37 stories in some cases. Former Raleigh Mayor Nancy McFarlane has sent an email to Council in opposition to the request.
