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

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?

Dear Friends and Neighbors:
I am writing to invite you to celebrate our new Hillsborough Street at a big
street festival on Saturday Sept 25th.
It will be a day full of fun events for kids of all ages. There will be live
music (the stage near
our neighborhood will stop playing at 10 pm so no late night guitar!), an
international stage with
everything from belly dancing to bag pipes, an eco zone with earth friendly
vendors (check out the dryer balls
from www.StoneyMountainFarm.com <http://www.stoneymountainfarm.com/> ) and
an organic iron chef competition – just to name a few!
All of the festivities are on the events website at
http://hillsboroughstreet.org/event/
Note that the street will be closed from 6 am Sat. the 25th until 2 am on
Sun. the 26th. There will be traffic patrol and
Raleigh police helping manage the traffic and parking.
A special community procession will lead to the ribbon cutting at 2:30 pm….
We will meet at the Theatre in the Park
parking lot on Pullen and walk to the Bell Tower for the official
dedication. Please join us.
It’s an exciting time for our community. I hope you will join in the fun!
I look forward to seeing you there…
Best,
Nina Szlosberg
Chair, Hillsborough Street Partnership
