[BPW-Action] Some Bowstring thoughts

In light of the most recent posts, I wanted to organize some thoughts about the Bowstring situation. 1. The volume has improved significantly! It’s still loud on some nights and in some locations, but I’ll celebrate partial victories. 2. It’s still too loud if it’s reaching anywhere in our neighborhood. I heard it loud and clear walking home the other night along Plainview (and earlier in the evening on Tonsler), but not at my house. Please keep calling in noise complaints if you hear loud music. 3. You don’t have to be sure it’s coming from Bowstring to report it! Just tell the dispatch person you ‘think’ it’s coming from their location, 1930 Wake Forest Road. It’s the responding officer’s job to verify if it’s Bowstring, Tapyard, a nearby house party, etc. They will go to your location to see if can be heard, then to where you tell them you think it’s coming from. 4. Calls to both the non-emergency number and 911 are being taken into account, according to Officer Morrison. Ask for a call back from the responding officer. 5. Keep the pressure up on City Council. Email them as a group or Corey Branch separately. Ask for a response. Follow up if you don’t hear back! 6. If you can get a video in which the music is clearly audible, email or text that to the person you’re contacting. 7. Here is contact info for the people I’ve been in touch with. Don’t hesitate to bug anyone and everyone! That’s the only way to keep making progress. Captain Robert Bowen: +1 (919) 524-4571 Officer Gourley: +1 (984) 318-5556 Officer Morrison: +1 (919) 868-7711 Officer Robert Smith: Robert.Smith2(a)raleighnc.gov City Council: citycouncilmembers(a)raleighnc.gov Corey Branch: corey.branch(a)raleighnc.gov Jonathan Melton: Jonathan.Melton(a)raleighnc.gov I’ve also heard from a few other people but can’t find their contact info now.
