East CAC
2025-03-24 19:00 - 20:00 | Lions Park Community Center, 516 Dennis Avenue, Raleigh, 27604
You all are going to love our special guest for this month’s CAC meeting because he’ll be covering a topic we all really care about! Sean Driskill, the manager of Raleigh’s Vision Zero program will be presenting at our meeting next Monday.

For those of you who are confused by the program name as I originally was, Vision Zero refers to the goal of reducing traffic fatalities so much that we end up having zero fatalities. A lofty goal, but they’re starting out just trying to reduce injuries and fatalities along our transportation network. 🚙

Please come to our meeting Monday the 24th at 7 pm at the Lion’s Park Community Center to learn more about how the City of Raleigh is working to achieve this goal and to share your thoughts.

Looking forward to seeing you all there!

Best,
Jean Mosher
East CAC Chair

Residents,
I previously mentioned that we would not have a speaker for our upcoming meeting. That has changed. We will have Robert Rice, Chairman of the Raleigh CAC as our guest speaker. I have provided updates in the past and we have completed surveys to help us guide our further association with the City. Robert will provide an update to those efforts.
As you may recall, all CACs belong to the larger organization, Raleigh CAC or RCAC. In addition, Councilor Christina Jones, is now our Council liaison to facilitate effective communication between our organization and City Council.
In other news, Sarah Shaugnessy, City Planning, has provided further information and City web site links about Reflecting Raleigh, our next Comprehensive Plan update. While I would have preferred an in person update, she has provided the following information:
“We have made all of our in-person Community Conversation events accessible online for anyone who was not able to attend. All of the community conversation events were recorded and are available for viewing on Raleigh’s YouTube Chanel. We welcome you and other Midtown CAC members to view them and share your thoughts though our related surveys. I have linked these resources below for ease of access. We will use all of this online community engagement to guide the development of the plan in phase II.

Affordable Housing Summit Recording | Links to Presentations | Housing Priorities Survey
Weathering the Storm Community Conversation Recording | Links to Presentations | Stormwater Management Survey
A City in Motion Community Conversation Recording | Links to Presentations | Transportation Survey

If you wish to speak to a staff member one-on-one, I would encourage you to attend one of our upcoming Ask-A-Planner events. The focus is trees and urban ecosystems, but staff are happy to address any questions related to the comprehensive plan. The schedule is below.”

March 20, 3-6pm, Virtual Webinar
