Wednesday, October 6th, 2010

“The bridge is the linchpin to this whole discussion and the ball’s really in DOTs court right now,” said Eric J. Lamb, PE, Transportation Services Division Manager for the City of Raleigh Public Works Department in an interview with Charlotte Huffman, NBC17. I mentioned this in my previous post on the Tryon Road expansion project:

“One of my biggest concerns is the orchestration for the Tryon Road project, including the bridge replacement, between all three organizations. [City of Raleigh, Capital Area Metropolitan Planning Organization (CAMPO), and North Carolina Department of Transportation’s (NCDOT)]” – Tryon Road Falls Short in NCDOT Draft Transportation Plan

Neighbors Unite for NNO 2009 Night, The Cake was Good Too

Thursday, August 6th, 2009

Raleigh, NC – The Pleasant Ridge & Ramsgate Community Watch, building a safe and informed family community, celebrated National Night Out 2009 with over 80 neighbors and representatives from our local Fire, Police, and EMS departments.

NNO 2009 logoI’m eating chocolate cake and trying to decide what was best about Tuesday night. The cake is left over from the Pleasant Ridge & Ramsgate Community Watch National Night Out (NNO) 2009 celebration. This was our fourth one, and by far our best.

Steve from Grocery Boy Jr., WRAL, NBC 17, Wal-Mart, Tarts Produce at the Farmer’s Market, CPI Security, were just a few of the donaters for goody bags. Ben once again provided our sound system.
