On our neighborhood email list, we’ve had lots of discussion about quality of life issues such as noise complaints, parties, fireworks, parking violations etc. Needless to say, people are confused on when to dial 9-1-1 versus the non-emergency number (919) 831-6311. The Pleasant Ridge & Ramsgate Community Watch program has helped educate neighbors about 9-1-1 and sponsored tours of the 9-1-1 center in the past.

Raleigh ECC

I decided to ask Walt Fuller, Deputy Director of Operations for Raleigh-Wake County Emergency Communications Center to help clarify some of the confusion. Our Q&A is below:

1) What happens when a call comes in to the Raleigh-Wake County Emergency Communications Center for a Raleigh Police officer? (more…)

At next weeks budget hearing (June 1st, 7:00 PM, City Council chambers), I’ll be asking the City of Raleigh set aside parks and recreation money to help fund the master plan for the future park at Sierra Drive and Lineberry Drive. This is part of a larger list of budget items that we’ve gathered as part of the South West Citizens Advisory Council (SWCAC).

The budget will be tight, but it’s important that we keep asking. As I was reviewing the weekly E-newsletter from the city, I saw an article about the Kaboom! organization helping to fund playground equipment replacement at Southgate Park (see press release below). I then thought to myself, could the Lineberry Alliance apply for a grant for our future park? (more…)

Guest Blog: Help improve the safety on Sierra Dirve

I have been working with my Civics and Economics class to get a three-way stop at the intersection of Sierra and Lawrence. This is a dangerous intersection, as some of you may know. There is a hill with blind spots in both directions and parked cars add to the poor visibility at the intersection. We are working on getting a petition signed to install a 3-way stop sign. If you are interested in signing the petition, please e-mail me directly.
