Southwest Raleigh Community Engagement Group
2025-03-10 19:00 - 20:30 | Carolina Pines Community Center, 2305 Lake Wheeler Road, Raleigh, NC, 27603, United States
Friends and neighbors,
SW Community Meeting at the Carolina Pines Community Center (2305 Lake Wheeler Rd.). We will meet in person, without streaming, next Monday evening, March 10th, at 7:00 pm.

There will be reports from Raleigh Police Officers and City Inspections.
We plan to have a special update from Kate Pearce, Director of Dix Park about the upcoming completion and opening of the beautiful new Gipson Play Area at Dorothea Dix Park.

We need your help! City of Raleigh Engineering Services requested at the recent City Council meeting that all three bids submitted for the Carolina Pines Improvement Project be rejected because they are excessively high. That is based on a revised estimate that was lowered after three years to $16,906,895 from the original Capital Projects Bond amount of $19,492,517. Council did not do so and will consider the Project in a Work Session on 11 March. Apparently funds available for the project have also dwindled over the last three years to $14,312,143. Please reach out and let our representatives know that we need this project as originally designed and not some “fire sale” left-over scaled down version. Ask Council to find the missing $5,180,374 and build our long over-due street so people don’t have to walk in the street.
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. In honor of celebrating St. Patrick’s Day a week early we will feature an abundance of Mint Chocolate Chip along with other flavors. 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 (next one in June) the others will continue to use Zoom.

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.
Thank you all for taking an active interest in our community.
