BRT Transit that Benefits All and Displaces None
New Bern Avenue is living proof of the bigoted depredations our country and city have imposed on Black Americans. It is also living proof of Black Americans’ determination to fashion lives and communities of faith and hope in the face of overpowering forces of greed and racism. Of all projects which have the potential of restorative justice and to make good on Raleigh’s pledge to dismantle the city’s policies and systems of racial inequity and oppression with equitable transit, this is it.
Regular, Full Service, Two-Way Communication should be a priority
Monthly neighborhood meetings MUST BE YOUR PRIORITY. Where residents know they can show up to stay informed about Planning, Budgeting, Development, Parks & Rec, Police & Fire, Bond Initiatives, Transit and even hear from their council representatives.
Allow CACs the use of their preferred Community Center
I have a simple request today but I am not sure how to get my voice heard and a proposal executed in a timely manner.
Society for the Preservation of Historic Oakwood has concerns about Raleigh’s Transit Overlay District (TOD)
We believe that hidden in the glare of the shiny promise are certain foreseeable outcomes including the loss of irreplaceable historic resources, strong neighborhood identities, generational wealth, and culture two centuries in the making.
Leadership, Trust & Transparency
It is my understanding that you are planning on meeting in a closed session to discuss the City Clerk position. There is no reason to meet in a closed session unless you’re dealing with resumes. I understand you’re dealing with the structure of the Clerk’s position. You need to do that out in the open.
Find the Political Will to do what is Right for the People
We have come here for years asking for accountability measures to be put in place for the Raleigh Police Department. And have got nothing. However these folks who had a perfectly good transportation system had an entire new one implemented on them. All kinds of resources put into creating something no one wanted. Political will!
It is easy to apologize, but to mean it is another matter
So it’s easy to apologize. But to mean it is something else. An apology without meaningful action to correct a wrong, is not only insincere, even disingenuous, but hypocritical and does not represent the best interests of Raleigh.
Don’t ask for my input if you really don’t care
Listen, if you ask for my input, I expect you to take some action. Deliberate and specific action. How can you not see this as an opportunity to make some modifications? Instead, residents are starting to take matters into their own hands by applying for text changes to try and curb the harm MM has and will continue to have on the character of Raleigh.
Molly, you in danger, girl
By imposing restrictions on speaking time, you are excluding valuable input and shutting down important conversations that need to take place. Each member of our community deserves the opportunity to be heard, NO MATTER HOW LONG IT TAKES.
