Hybrid Midtown Citizens Advisory Council (CAC) Meeting
2024-03-25 19:00 - 21:00 | Eastgate Park, 4200 Quail Hollow Dr,, Raleigh, NC, 27609
Neighbors,
Hope that everyone is doing well this month.
Appended is our agenda for this month’s meeting. We are continuing the hybrid model, with the in person meeting at Eastgate Park Community Center, combined with virtual participation using Zoom.
We will open the meeting with updates from our local RPD members, followed by some special guests.
As many of you know, Council is working on the budget for 2024 / 2025. In an effort to inform our area residents on issues of importance, we are featuring some work force groups that need more local attention. This month, we are hosting Caleb Lewis, representing the Raleigh Professional Firefighters Association (RPFFA) for a discussion on Separation Allowance for Firefighters.
Our second guest speaker will provide additional detail on the long awaited Six Forks Road Improvement project that was finally approved by Council in February. While this project has been scaled back in terms of road coverage, it will definitely provide property relief to those residents and businesses along Six Forks road, in addition to traffic relief and improved intersection safety from Rowan to Millbrook road. Hopefully, this first stage of improvement will lead to budgeting for additional sections of Six Forks (stages 2 and 3), in an effort to catch up with planned development in other sections of the roadway.
We will wrap the meeting with updates from our local District Councilors that represent Midtown.
I look forward to seeing everyone later this month.
Regards,
Larry Helfant

Hillsborough-Wade CAC meeting on Zoom

Hi CAC neighbors,
REMINDER: One week from today we will have our monthly Hillsborough-Wade CAC meeting on Zoom. Please put Tuesday, March 26 at 7:00 PM on your calendar. The Zoom link is at the bottom of this email. For right now, our H-W CAC Board has decided to alternate monthly meetings between in-person and Zoom. We hope this will help accommodate the most people and their schedules.
Also, we have an AGENDA UPDATE. The Biophilia presentation has been moved to our April in-person meeting so we can accommodate Brian Smith’s schedule. Our meeting next week will have an interesting pairing of the future Hillsborough Street Phase 3 improvements and the rezoning case which is along that same section of the street. I’ll also give an update on what the RCAC and City of Raleigh are doing since the February 6th vote to restore City support.
Current Agenda:
• Update from the Hillsborough Street Community Service Corporation.
• Presentation on Biophilia and Raleigh’s membership in the international network of Biophilic Cities.* (moved to next month)
• Report on progress from the RCAC and City of Raleigh
• Presentation on the future Phase 3 of Hillsborough Street improvements. This phase/section is the stretch from the roundabout at Shepherd & Rosemary westward to the I-440 Beltline interchange.
• Update on rezoning case Z-83-22 (property includes where the Arby’s was on Hillsborough Street).
*One of our very active CAC members and super volunteer, Marsha Presnell-Jennette, thought it would be good to hear from Brian Smith (our Natural Resources Superintendent) about the Biophilic Cities Network and Raleigh’s efforts to improve our environment and connections to it. Read more about Biophilic design and concepts.
Below the Zoom link are some photos from our February meeting. Last month’s meeting was a celebration of the recent City Council vote to officially recognize and support CACs once again. We had an interesting and informative group discussion about community engagement with City Councilors Christina Jones and Jonathan Melton. Councilor Jones introduced the motion on February 6th to reinstate City recognition and support of CACs. Councilor Melton was our 5th vote we needed to make it happen. A big thanks to them and the entire City Council that voted unanimously last month.
Two more links for your review: the Community Engagement presentation that the City Council received at their retreat before the February 6th vote. Councilor Melton mentioned this presentation to me at our last CAC meeting and thought our members would be interested in it. Also, Lance Shinholser at the Community Engagement Office is leading the effort for a “Vote Local 2024” campaign. He suggested it as a potential agenda item for one of our meetings between now and election time.See you next Tuesday on Zoom,
Mike

Local climate advocates host climate anxiety event ahead of Earth Day
2024-04-17 17:30 - 18:30 | NCSU Talley Student Union, 2610 Cates Ave., Raleigh, NC, 27607
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
Local climate advocates host climate anxiety event ahead of Earth Day
Together with Eco+Pack@NCSU and the Raleigh Chapter of Citizens’ Climate Lobby, Toward Zero Waste is hosting a free workshop entitled Keep Your Cool In A Warming World: Facing Your Fear About Climate Change.

Where:

North Carolina State University’s Talley Student Union, Room #4280, located at 2610 Cates Avenue, Raleigh, NC 27606. Parking is free after 5pm and available at the Coliseum Parking Deck on 201 Jensen Dr, Raleigh, NC 27606.

When:
Cost:
How to Participate: This event is open to the public, but capacity is limited. Registration
required at: https://keep-cool.eventbrite.com.
During this free, one-hour workshop, somatic psychotherapist Miriam Brodersen will guide attendees as they explore the psychological roots of the climate crisis, discuss strategies to help when feeling overwhelmed, and demonstrate mindfulness techniques to develop resilience when confronting daunting environmental issues.
“So many people want to see action on climate, but decades of seeing political leaders from both sides of the aisle continue to ignore climate impacts has left them feeling hopeless,” said Beth Carmichael, a local CCL volunteer and co-organizer of the event. “We are offering this workshop to show our community that it is possible for people to transform their perspective and approach the climate crisis with both pragmatism and optimism.”
Beth struggled with similar feelings of hopelessness before finding Citizens’ Climate Lobby. “It is easy to feel powerless and overwhelmed by the scope of the climate problem. What I’ve learned is that working with others who are as concerned as I am feels so much better than doom-scrolling social media.”
