We want to hear from you, Raleigh, about your experience building new friendships in the city. Participants will receive a $25 gift card.
Join us at A Place at the Table for a one-hour activity with the City of Raleigh staff. Raleigh City employees are coming together from across departments to learn and practice public innovation to solve real challenges facing the city. The focus of this project is about building community cohesion.
We want to hear from you, Raleigh residents, about your experience building new friendships through the activities in your community.
How does it work?
Arrive at 9 a.m. and get paired up with a Raleigh employee. They will ask you questions about your experience meeting new people. There is nothing you need to prepare, just an openness to share your experiences. As a thank you for your time, we will provide you with a $25 gift card.
Who can attend?
Our focus is learning how people create a sense of belonging and connection within Raleigh. We’d like to talk to anyone who will share their stories about how they are expanding their social circle.
What else should I know?
All participants need to arrive at 9am and stay until 10am in order to receive a gift card. We will also provide coffee and pastries from A Place at the Table.
Parking
There is paid street parking and a paid gravel parking lot across the street from the cafe. There are also five free two-hour parking decks in Downtown Raleigh. The Municipal Lot is closest to the restaurant.
Spots are limited to the first 20 people to sign up! If you can no longer make it, send us an email at gabriela.scarritt@raleighnc.gov and we will open that spot up for someone else. Thanks!

Midtown Citizen Advisory Council Meeting featuring At-Large Candidates
2026-02-23 19:00 - 21:00 | Eastgate Park, 4200 Quail Hollow Dr,, Raleigh, NC, 27609
I have a few updates for you since our last meeting in January.

First, early voting has begun for the upcoming primary. As many of you know, the only Council seats that will be on the ballot will be the At-Large and District C candidates since there are more than two people running for each seat. With that in mind, I think it is important to know the candidates so that you can make an informed choice when voting. Our February meeting will focus on the At-Large Candidates with an in-person discussion with all six candidates that are running for that position. This will be an excellent opportunity for a community discussion on City and local priorities, centering on affordability, transportation, and density. The agenda is appended for your convenience.
Please do not miss this opportunity to have an open discussion with the candidates. Try to attend in person, although the meeting will follow our hybrid model of both in-person and virtual participation using Zoom.
The Zoom link for the meeting is as follows:

I am also providing another reminder about the feedback request for the planned Green Street Phase 1 treatment of Quail Hollow Drive, starting with the cycle track application on one side of the street and parking on the other side of the street. I have appended an excellent detailed feedback response from Chuck Newcomer that provides a good example. Feel free to follow up with Chuck if you have an interest. Here is the link to the project page that includes more detail, a timeline, and some summary information from the community engagement from last summer. The feedback request will stay open until February 27. Please note that you have to click on “continue” at the bottom of the information page, then click on “Feedback” to get to the comment space.

Quail Hollow Drive Green Street Phase 1 – Advanced Design Review – PublicInput
engage.raleighnc.gov

Last item for now but of high priority. There has been a lot of interest in organizing a neighborhood response to the Council’s recent approval of the North Hills rezoning. To further that effort, we are looking for someone that can assist us with creating a web page that will be used for information and possible fund raising efforts, if there is sufficient interest in an organized response. Please let me know, as soon as convenient, if you or another acquaintance can assist us in this website creation.

Five Points CAC Virtual Meeting
2026-03-09 19:00 - 20:00 | NC
Join Zoom Meeting
https://us06web.zoom.us/j/84111555416

Hi Five Points:

Please plan to join us for the March 9th Five Points CAC Zoom meeting.

Captain J.R. Manson will give us a police report for recent crime in the Five Points area.

Then we will be joined by Sgt. Madeline Horner and other members of the Raleigh ACORNS (Addressing Crises through Outreach, Referrals, Networking, and Service) team. ACORNS is a proactive unit that works with residents experiencing crises and connects them with appropriate community resources. The team pairs social workers with law enforcement officers to provide support using the most appropriate and least intrusive interventions possible.

This discussion is the follow-up to Captain Manson’s safety presentation in January. During that meeting, there was interest in hosting a special follow-up session in February. However, the weather issues in early February created scheduling challenges for me—and likely for others as well. Planning a special meeting later in February would have placed it very close to our regular March meeting, which is relatively early in March. As a result, I decided it would be best to continue the discussion at our March meeting.

Also at our meeting, we will be joined by Brian Smith, Natural Resources Superintendent at City of Raleigh Parks, Recreation and Cultural Resources, to talk with us about Raleigh’s Biophilic Efforts and Invasive Species Program.

And Council Member Christina Jones plans to join us to share a City Council update.

Hope to see you all there!

SW Community Meeting at the Carolina Pines Community Center (2305 Lake Wheeler Road). We will meet in person, without streaming, this coming Monday evening, March 9th, at 7:00 pm.
There will be reports from Raleigh Police Officers and City Inspections.
We need your help! – I have been told that we can use the Center’s freezer. Therefore, I will, as previously promised, donate ice cream. Please come and help with the ice cream. Since I have no idea as to how many will attend I don’t need to be left with melting cartons and no freezer space. Please bring help. Kids welcome.
This meeting is intended to be focused on sharing interests, and concerns and just acquainting ourselves with our neighbors. Please join this gathering if you can. Hopefully, we will have a good turnout. I plan to schedule in-person meetings four times a year (March, June, September, and December) the others will continue to use Zoom which continues to bring us together very easily.
Chair set-up in our traditional room at Carolina Pines Center will start at about 6:45 pm. Our next meeting in April will resume the popular Zoom/Streaming format.
If you have questions you can text me at (919) 810-3174.
My phone may reject voice calls not in my contacts list.

AGENDA

• Affordable Housing in Raleigh. Presentation by City staff from the Housing and Community Development Department about the affordable housing issues facing Raleigh, the department’s ongoing programs, and community needs. During the Q&A conversation following their presentation, you will have an opportunity to ask questions and make suggestions about what Raleigh should be doing to solve our affordable housing crisis.
The City plans to have an Affordable Housing Bond in this fall’s election. Your participation now may help guide what the bond will look like this fall. This is your opportunity for input!

Mike
