City Council Work Session

Raleigh Municipal Building 222 W. Hargett St., Raleigh

  A. MEETING CALLED TO ORDER BY THE MAYOR B. ITEMS TO BE DISCUSSED B.1 Organic Food Composting Pilot Update Shikha Gupta, Solid Waste Services On April 8, 2025, staff presented the Organics Management Feasibility Study Phase 1 Summary and Results to City Council to assess the scope of expanding processing and collections services currently offered by Solid Waste Services (SWS) to develop a sustainable food waste management solution for the City of Raleigh.

Pullen Park Community Center 408 Ashe Ave, Raleigh

RALEIGH, IS THIS HOW WE TREAT OUR SENIORS AND PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES? MR. SEAN ABRAMS, OUR COMMUNITY HAS WAITED LONG ENOUGH! GoRaleigh Access riders report a transportation system plagued by communication failures. 30–60 minutes to reach dispatch — IF you get through! The callback feature introduced July 14 reportedly DOES NOT WORK! No reliable way to locate vehicles or know when transportation will arrive! Nearly 10 YEARS OF PROMISES for better communication technology! The City of Raleigh contracts with RATP Dev to provide these services, yet our community continues reporting serious failures. ENOUGH OF “IT’S ON ITS WAY!” WE DEMAND ANSWERS! COMMUNITY MEETING — EVERYONE IS INVITED! Tuesday, October 13, 2026 6:00–8:00 PM Pullen Park Community Center, Raleigh I have personally invited current Raleigh City Council members, City Council candidates, transportation officials, and community representatives to attend. Mr. Sean Abrams is expected to be there. I also hope his supervisors and senior City leadership will attend.

Listen to the questions. Hear how City leadership responds. I ASK YOU ONE SIMPLE QUESTION: IS […]
