RCAC representative on Pedestrian Transportation Plan steering committee

by Ana Duncan Pardo

Hello fellow CAC leaders, I'm forwarding you all a request from Steven Waters of the Raleigh Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Commission. They are asking for a CAC leader to represent the community on the Pedestrian Transportation Plan steering committee, and they need to know by next Monday, Sept. 6th. Is anyone interested? I'm sure Steven can answer any questions folks might have about time commitment, etc., though it seems fairly light (four meetings spaced out through 2011). Please let me know if you're interested, or contact Steven directly at swaters(a)livingstreets.com or 919-618-0294. Thanks! Ana ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Steven Waters <swaters(a)livingstreets.com> Date: Tue, Aug 31, 2010 at 12:34 PM Subject: Raleigh CAC representative on Pedestrian Transportation Plan steering committee To: Ana Pardo <acpardo(a)gmail.com>, Alan Wiggs <alanwiggs(a)gmail.com>, Paul Brandt <paulbrant(a)mindspring.com> Ana Pardo, Alan Wiggs, Paul Brandt, I'm writing to ask if you could identify an appropriate person to represent the Raleigh CAC on a steering committee that will oversee development of the City of Raleigh's Pedestrian Transportation Plan. This plan will be used to identify and evaluate critical needs for planning and implementing pedestrian improvements throughout Raleigh. It will also update the current process for considering new sidewalk projects, evaluate intersections for pedestrian safety improvements, and review plans for complying with the provisions of the Americans with Disabilities Act in public rights-of-way. Could you please identify a representative, and ask them to send me an updated resume, and a short cover letter outlining their background and perspective, interest in the Pedestrian Transportation Plan, and what they would like to see from this process? This would really help us to have a very engaging process, and only involves four meetings spaced throughout 2011. We would like to recommend your nominee for appointment to the City Council at their meeting next Tuesday, September 7, 2010. Could you please have this sent to me by next Monday, September 6, 2010?

great story about Neighborhood Award winners in today's N&O

by Linda Watson

What a great story <http://www.newsobserver.com/2010/10/16/740574/rewarded-for-a-love-of-garden…> in today's paper about Julia and Robert Mackintosh, the winners of the Glenwood CAC Neighborhood Recognition Awards. It's on the front page of the Home & Garden section, with a nice block inviting everyone to the ceremony. I encouraged the reporter, Chelsea Kellner, to come to the event to meet the other winners, each of whom is probably worthy of a story themselves. Please say hello to her if you see her there and consider letting your area reporter know more about your winners. ... Linda Glenwood CAC

N&O story on walkable Raleigh sparked by Glenwood CAC meeting, meeting attendance up

by Linda Watson

We're gaining momentum here in the Glenwood CAC. Our September meeting was very well attended and lively, with 17 people who didn't have any official role and 26 people total. We were able to spread the word about the good speakers for this meeting by having the first page of the newsletter be a poster for the meeting (see below). The newsletter asked people to put the poster up in public places. Several Ridgewood businesses posted it and at least one neighborhood church. Chelsea Kellner wrote a great story about the meeting's theme in the N&O's Midtown Raleigh News section: In search of a more walkable Raleigh <http://www.midtownraleighnews.com/2010/10/06/4157/in-search-of-a-more-walka…>, which I hope will bring more people to the next meeting. Thought I'd share the poster idea with you in case you'd like to use it in your CACs. ... Linda
