West Raleigh CAC
2025-01-22 19:00 - 20:30 | NC
Meeting Wednesday January 22nd at 7pm
It’s time to meet and talk about what’s going on in West Raleigh!
WIth the proposed Lorimer Spring Affordable Housing Development there is increased interest in how transit oriented zoning applies along the Western Blvd corridor. We have Frequent Transit Areas, Frequent Transit Overlay Districts and Bus Rapid Transit Areas. So, how do they all work together in the planning process?
Senior Planner Sarah Shaughnessy will answer questions and provide some insight.
We are planning to have the Lorimer Spring developer at our February meeting and hope this session will give you relevant data that can inform that discussion.
We will provide updates from the District D Neighborhood Alliance meeting held on January 18th and make space for concerns and updates from our members. We hope you can join us via zoom on Wednesday evening at 7pm.

LGBTQ Film Series: Longtime Companion
2025-01-28 14:00 - 16:00 | Five Points Center for Active Adults, 2000 Noble Road, Raleigh, NC, 27608, United States
Don’t miss out on our LGBTQIA+ Film Series screening!
Join us for our monthly program on the fourth Tuesday of the month. We will be showcasing films with diverse themes around sexuality and gender. This program is co-hosted with the Carolina Aging Alliance.
All folks 18 and older are welcome! January’s Film is “Longtime Companion.” Longtime Companion follows the lives of a small circle of friends from the first mention of the disease in the New York Times in 1981. First referred to as “Gay-Related-Immune-Disorder,” we watch the effect of the disease as it devastates the lives of our protagonists. Jumping between Manhattan and Fire Island, vignettes carry us from the it-couldn’t-happen-to-me mentality of the early days of the disease to the invasive effect it has had on all of our lives, today.
The title of the film comes from the New York Times’ refusal to acknowledge homosexual relationships in their obituary section during this period. Instead, survivors were referred to as “Longtime Companions” of the deceased.

Hillsborough-Wade CAC meeting
2025-01-28 19:00 - 21:00 | Pullen Park Community Center, 408 Ashe Ave, Raleigh, NC, 27607
Hi CAC neighbors,
Our Hillsborough-Wade CAC meeting is tomorrow evening Tuesday, January 28 at 7:00 PM. Our meeting location is at the Pullen Community Center at 408 Ashe Avenue.
This meeting is critical to making progress this year with Raleigh’s new community engagement efforts. As you may recall, it was a year ago in early February that District E City Councilor Christina Jones introduced a series of motions to re-establish the City of Raleigh’s recognition and support of CACs. While we’ve made some progress this past year, we have much to do this year. Including making sure every Raleigh resident has an equal opportunity to be represented by a CAC where they live. CAC volunteers and City staff need to work together to stand back up CACs in parts of town where they disappeared after the 2020 City Council vote to stop supporting CACs. As a CAC Chair and RCAC Chair, Christina Jones reminded the Council every month for 4 years that the City never came up with any new community engagement opportunities to replace CACs. Almost a year ago Christina led the City Council to reverse that mistake from 2020. Click here or on the WRAL image below to watch a short news report from last February.

Click on above image to watch a news report about CACs.
District E City Councilor Christina Jones will talk about her new appointment as the City’s official liaison to CACs. With Tiesha Mosley and Christina Jones at our meeting this will an excellent start for the new year and community engagement in Raleigh! This meeting will be your opportunity to talk with our new CAC Liaison and Engagement Office Director about efforts by the City of Raleigh to engage Raleigh residents and plans for more progress this year.

AGENDA
• Police report.
• Update about RCAC and outreach to City Council.
• Presentation by Tiesha Mosley, the Director of Raleigh’s Community Engagement Office, about the reorganization of the Community Engagement Office to include Neighborhood Services.
• District E City Councilor Christina Jones will talk about her new appointment as the City’s official liaison to CACs.
• Update on rezoning cases in our CAC.
See you Tuesday evening,
Mike

Lake Crabtree Park-RDUAA Seeks Public Input for Development of 136 Acres Forested Land
2025-01-29 17:00 - 19:00 | RDU Airport Authority Board room 100, 1000 Trade Drive, RDU Airport
Lake Crabtree Park-RDUAA Seeks Public Input for Development of 136 Acres Forested Land
Wednesday, January 29, 2025 (5-7pm)
RDU Airport Authority Board Room 100
1000 Trade Drive, RDU Airport
Parking in “Cell Phone” lot across from rental car returns

The RDUAA has scheduled a Special Board Meeting regarding the future of Lake Crabtree County Park (LCCP) for Wednesday, January 29, 2025 starting at 5pm.
At this meeting, public input will be solicited for development ideas and RESTRICTIONS/LIMITATIONS for 136 acres of land now in forested mountain bike and pedestrian trails. RDUAA is proposing allow private commercial development of this tract into some sort of “entertainment development’ which includes hotel, restaurant(s), retail, similar. Due to a confidentially agreement, the public is not being told what the (also unnamed) developer proposes — a lack of transparency!
We are confident the public will have a lot to say about the proposal to convert one of the most popular features (forested bike/ped trails) of one of the County’s most popular parks into some sort of commercial development. The Umstead Coalition will be suggesting a revisit of the land use Master Plan for the RDU Airport – instead of dismantling our public lands track by track without a strategic plan or extensive community input and evaluation (and transparency).
We should note, Lake Crabtree County Park is exceedingly popular, a true community asset and connected to William B. Umstead State Park, East Coast Greenway, US1 Bikeway, Black Creek Greenway, American Tobacco Trail, and more.
We join others in the community to ask Wake County to purchase these lands to preserve our popular Park.
We have been told each person that has an opportunity to speak will have 3 minutes. You can either sign up to speak (we assume when you arrive) OR just attend to show your support for our public forested Lake Crabtree County Park!
