Meeting re Lane Street drainage improvements
2025-04-24 17:00 - 18:30 | Tarboro Road Community Center
The East Lane Street drainage improvement project will comprise replacing the current stormwater pipe that runs through properties to the north of E. Lane Street. Parts of the current pipe are in bad condition and undersized, causing flooding and sinkholes. The new pipe will either follow roughly the current path, but along the rear of the properties on the north side of the 500 block of Lane Street, or it will run under Lane Street itself, or possibly partly under Lane Street and partly along its current path.

More details are forthcoming, but there will be a public meeting to share and gather information on this project. It will take place on April 24 from 5:00 to 6:30 at the Tarboro Road Community Center at 121 N. Tarboro Road. All are invited.

East CAC
2025-05-19 19:00 - 20:00 | Lions Park Community Center, 516 Dennis Avenue, Raleigh, 27604
Hi Neighbors!

Please join the East CAC next Monday for our monthly meeting.

5/19/2025
Lions Park Community Center
7 pm

We are lucky to have Senior Engineer Sheri Smith joining us to tell us about the Pigeon House Watershed study and take your questions. The goal of the study is to identify ways to improve the watershed by reducing flooding, replacing/renewing stormwater pipes and infrastructure in poor condition, improve water quality, and repairing stream banks.

There is also time for folks to share information about things going on in our area and have a general discussion.

My co-chair Mark records the meetings live on Facebook and YouTube. He keeps an eye on the chat so you can ask questions even if you aren’t physically present. You can even watch them later.
https://youtube.com/@east-cac

https://www.facebook.com/share/1KvGvjd3Fr/?mibextid=wwXIfr

I did want to mention that we’ve been having low turnout at our recent meetings even accounting for folks watching virtually. We can always move the meetings to every other month if monthly is proving too frequent. If you’d like to attend meetings but can’t I’d love to hear from you separately about your reasons. Please email me! We want as many people as possible to be able to participate. If the day or time is a problem we might need to do a poll to see if there’s a better time.

Best,
Jean Mosher
