Fire near Raleigh North Apts. last night?

by Sue Sturgis

There was a large emergency response to the area around Raleigh North late last night/early this morning. From the scanner traffic, it sounded like a possible arson outside the buildings. Officer Kryskowiak, could you update us on what happened? I hope all is OK. Sue Sturgis

The signs are being made!

by Rebecca Fernandez

I am so (very!) happy to tell you all that the neighborhood watch sign order has (finally!) been placed, and the signs should be on their way to us shortly. Thank you all for your patience as we navigated through the city's grant process. I went ahead and ordered the signs on the promise that the city would be mailing me a check for their half of the cost... and I will now cross my fingers and hope that this doesn't take another year to arrive! -- Rebecca Fernandez, Business Writer 919.931.4957 http://www.rebeccagfernandez.com

trees down in creek

by Amy Ward

Hello all, I have just spoken with the city of Raleigh about the trees that are down in the creek of Marborough Road. They have told me that in a normal case the homeowners would be responsible for the debris that is in the creek. However, due to circumstances the city manager Russell Allen has asked for the city to due an inventory of what is in the creek. They expect to do this inventory next week and the following week. Mr. Allen will then determine if they are going to take care of the debris or alert homeowners that they are responsible. Just an FYI. Thanks!

Fwd: debris in back yards between Marlborough and King Charles

by Jessica Bowen

so it looks like the homeowners are indeed responsible for the downed trees on that hill. I am sure we could get the Baptist Men out here- this is just their kind of project, but do we not need to get permission from all of those homeowners? Anyone here live on King Charles above the creek who can help organize the efforts on that side? Most of the trees are on that side of the creek. -Jessica Bowen ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Willard, Charlene <Charlene.Willard(a)raleighnc.gov> Date: Wed, May 18, 2011 at 11:48 AM Subject: debris in back yards between Marlborough and King Charles To: "jessica.bowen74(a)gmail.com" <jessica.bowen74(a)gmail.com> I checked with a co-worker who has worked with the tornado emergency management team, and he said that if it is private property, then the owner is responsible. These lot lines extend down to the creek, so the trees you mentioned would indeed be on private property and removal of debris would fall on the property owner. You might want to check with the Baptist Men and see if there’s anything they can do. Charlene Holmes Willard Community Specialist City of Raleigh Community Services Dept.

by Nicole Stewart

Hey All, Thought I'd send a note to see if anyone has references for businesses who we can buy gravel from for our driveway. Of course, we would need it delivered too. Thanks! Nicole Stewart 2315 Euston Street

FYI on who's responsible for downed trees on east side of Marlborough Rd

by Jessica Bowen

will forward any future updates. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Willard, Charlene <Charlene.Willard(a)raleighnc.gov> Date: Wed, May 18, 2011 at 8:15 AM Subject: Map of area To: "jessica.bowen74(a)gmail.com" <jessica.bowen74(a)gmail.com> Jessica - here's a map of the are I believe you are talking about. The areas shown in green are the natural areas and greenway land that is maintained by the city. The lots do go all the way down to the creek, which is what I suspected. I will see if I can find out info here in the City if the City is in any way obligated to clean-up the area, but at first glance, it does not appear that we are. These are property lines that are based on the real estate records. There may be some factors I am not aware of, so that's why I will try to get you an "official" answer to this question. This is an extensive area and I am sure costs would be high if individual owners have to remove this. “E-mail correspondence to and from this address may be subject to the North Carolina Public Records Law and may be disclosed to third parties by an authorized City or Law Enforcement official.”

Debris on sidewalks near Powell ES

by Vanessa Van Horn

Neighbors, I am not exactly sure what the City's policy regarding the tornado-related debris placed on the sidewalk is, but it is making Powell Elementary students' walk to school downright treacherous. If parking a vehicle on the sidewalk is illegal… The debris is piled on the sidewalks along Marlborough and N King Charles, forcing students to walk in the middle of 35 mph streets. Is there any way this area can be made a clean-up priority considering the number of student walkers that must take to the street in order to get to school and back every day? In the meantime let your concern be heard and please vote: http://en.seeclickfix.com/issues/101622# Many thanks to the Bowens for posting this and sharing. Best, Vanessa If it is a rose, it will come into bloom sooner or later. ~Goethe
