Raleigh Code for America Brigade Launches 'Adopt-A-Shelter Application'

by Jason Hibbets

Hello CAC chairs, I'm happy to announce a new interactive web application that compliments the existing Adopt-a-shelter program from the City of Raleigh. Please share the news below with your CACs. If your CAC can adopt a bus shelter or if you know of a business that might be willing to adopt a shelter, that would be a great way to help us meet our goal of 20 new bus shelter adoptions. Let me know if there are any questions. Jason Raleigh Code for America Brigade Launches 'Adopt-A-Shelter Application' Twenty Shelters Is the Goal Residents interested in adopting a City of Raleigh bus shelter now have an interactive web application that displays which Capital Area Transit (CAT) bus shelters are available for adoption. Using the application, residents can sign-up for a one-year commitment to keep the adopted bus shelter clean for CAT riders. The URL for the app is http://adoptashelter.raleighnc.gov The Raleigh Code for America brigade, Code for Raleigh, is a volunteer group working to enable existing applications and technology created by Code for America. Code for Raleigh has deployed an Adopt-A-Shelter application highlighting 184 shelters that are available for adoptions in Raleigh.

Re: [RCAC] UDO topics for review (plus Backyard Cottage mtg next Wednesday Nov 14)

by Linda Watson

Mark, I didn't see an attachment to your email. I may be alone in this, but would you please resend? Please all CAC chairs, *alert your people to the Comprehensive Planning Committee **next Wednesday, November 14, 2012 at 5pm in the City Council Chambers.* It will be very influential in deciding what happens with backyard cottages BEFORE our workshop. They will be looking for a compromise position that will allow these second backyard houses in certain circumstances. It is a real shame that this hearing is being held just days before our workshop. I've asked Councilor Stephenson if it can be delayed until after Thanksgiving, but we have to assume that this will not happen. ...

Hey folks, Ken Bowers put together this proposed agenda for our upcoming UDO workshop. Please look this over and provide me comments as to what changes might need to be made.
