You all are going to love our special guest for this month’s CAC meeting because he’ll be covering a topic we all really care about! Sean Driskill, the manager of Raleigh’s Vision Zero program will be presenting at our meeting next Monday. For those of you who are confused by the program name as I originally was, Vision Zero refers to the goal of reducing traffic fatalities so much that we end up having zero fatalities. A lofty goal, but they’re starting out just trying to reduce injuries and fatalities along our transportation network. 🚙 Please come to our meeting Monday the 24th at 7 pm at the Lion’s Park Community Center to learn more about how the City of Raleigh is working to achieve this goal and to share your thoughts. Looking forward to seeing you all there! Best, Jean Mosher East CAC Chair PS: Please mark your calendars for next month's special earth day meeting on April 21. Our city’s Urban Forester Zack Manor. 🌳

Hi CAC neighbors, We have an agenda update for our Hillsborough-Wade CAC meeting this coming Tuesday, March 25 at 7:00 PM. We will meet on Zoom, the link is below. Our meeting will feature a presentation on AI (Artificial Intelligence). This will be a good opportunity to learn more about AI and how you can use it. Click on the below image to watch a 4 minute video about AI. Agenda • Police report. • Update from Hillsborough-Street Community Service Corporation. • Presentation about AI: understanding the basics and “how-tos” plus an overview on AI developments and how they impact us. • Update on rezoning cases in our CAC. The applicant for rezoning case Z-54-22, which was voted down by City Council two years ago, is restarting the process to bring this case back before City Council. Our District D City Councilor led the effort to deny this rezoning request two years ago. Now the applicant is coming forward with some money for the future Smokey Hollow city park and some money for the City’s affordable housing fund. These incentives don’t change the request for 30 stories where 12 stories is already approved for this Downtown Transition area. If approved […]
