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.
