Southwest Community Engagement Meeting
2024-09-09 19:00 - 21:00 | Carolina Pines Community Center, 2305 Lake Wheeler Road, Raleigh, NC, 27603, United States
After four and a half years, we have approval for access to the Carolina Pines Community Center (2305 Lake Wheeler Rd.)
We will meet in person, without streaming, this coming Monday evening, September 9th, at 7:00 pm. There will be reports from Raleigh Police Officers and City Inspections followed by social time. Hopefully, we can also return to having a program update about Carolina Pines Park’s activities.
I have been told that we can also use the Center’s freezer. Therefore, I will, as previously promised, donate some 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.
This meeting is intended to be focused on sharing interests, and concerns and just reacquainting ourselves with our neighbors. Several of our City Councilors have indicated they plan to attend. Please join this gathering if you can. Hopefully, we will have a good turnout. So much of the World has changed over the last few years. If this goes well, I plan to schedule in-person meetings four times a year. (next one in December) The others will continue to use Zoom,
Chair set-up in our traditional room will start at about 6:45 pm.
Our next meeting in October will resume the Zoom/Streaming format. We have been promised an update from City Engineering Services about actual construction activity starting on Carolina Pines Ave.
Thank you all for taking an active interest in our community.

Crabtree West Celebration
2024-09-14 08:30 - 12:30 | NC
Celebrate Crabtree Creek Trail’s Extension
“Our greenways are a signature amenity that differentiates Raleigh from other places,” says Beverley Clark, chair of the city’s parks recreation and greenway advisory board and founder of the Friends of Raleigh Greenways (FRoG). On Sept. 14, FRoG is celebrating the completion of the final extension of the Crabtree Creek Trail, which closes the gap between Umstead Park and the Neuse River. “It has spectacular elevated switchbacks and a beautiful suspension bridge,” says Clark. Join FRoG for a 5K race or 10-mile bike ride, or watch the little ones parade across the new bridge. Meteorologist Elizabeth Gardner will host the event, which also includes a DJ and food trucks. Proceeds will go toward public art installations along the greenway. “We are eager for more citizens to understand the importance of our greenways,” says Clark. “They’re essentially Raleigh’s largest park, connecting people and places from one end of the city to the other.” Sept. 14 | 8:30 a.m.; $20 to race; free to attend festival; parking lot of Grubb Ventures, 5171 Glenwood Avenue; friendsoftheraleighgreenway.org

Biophilic Cities Explained
2024-09-25 17:30 - 19:30 | All Faith’s Chapel at Dix Park, 1030 Richardson Drive, Raleigh, NC, 27603
Tim Beatley is coming to Raleigh! Date is Sept. 25th at All Faith’s Chapel on Dix Park. The talk begins at 5:30. Please help spread the word with colleagues as well as with members of Raleigh’s boards and commissions. Does the name ring a bell but you don’t remember the connection? Tim Beatley is the founder of the Network of Biophilic Cities. Raleigh is a member of the Network but apparently this status is not well understood or appreciated. Help spread the word.

https://dorotheadixpark.org/event/being-biophilic-city-raleighs-present-future-sustainable-design

Understanding the significance of Raleigh’s status as a member of the Network of Biophilic Cities is vital when considering how our city is being built as it grows. Would you like to see more green wall planters on our tall parking decks? Would you like to see roof top gardens providing habitat for birds and a green outdoor space for people living in tall buildings? Would you like to see more tree lined streets and plants that attract butterflies, bees and birds as well as more stormwater retention gardens? There are many innovative environmentally wise projects Raleigh could be implementing IF we citizens knew of them. Let’s learn what other cities are doing!
