There is a new homeless camp in the trashed area ignored by the City of Raleigh. There are mattresses, blankets, pillows, multiple empty King Cobra bottles. The owner of this property needs to be fined and held accountable for what is taking place on their land.
This trashed area was most recently reported over 3 weeks ago and acknowledged by the city 20 days ago. This is not the first time this issue has been brought to the city's attention. As of today there have been no updates regarding this area.
This issue is a danger to all the residents living in Renaissance Park, and should have been addressed the first time it was reported. If you let an area remain trashed eventually homeless people will move in, since the area looks ignored. It is only a matter of time until a crime is committed as a result of this. Please take action now.

This is a very dangerous intersection to make a left turn in, specifically heading north turning onto Howard. The turn should be made a left-arrow only turn.

As many of us know , the past few months the van is back It was moved for the weekend over to a parking lot but now it back at the same spot and today I know it was on expired meter (I check the number my self as I waled to lunch)Why this area not be cleaned up. It looked great for the parade etc last week end. I am counting down till my place of work moved out of down town to east Cary where it is a safe clean place to walk at lunch etc!! Come on July!!

My daughter walks to and from Lacy Elementary every day in her wheelchair from our house at 2100 Ridge Road. She has Osteogenesis Imperfecta, also known as Brittle Bones, which means her bones break very easily. There are several places along that walk (on the southern or even numbered side of Ridge) where the earth on one or both of the sidewalk edges is dangerously low and could cause her wheelchair to tip over if her wheel goes off the edge. This is a potentially fatal hazard for her. She is in first grade and will be using this sidewalk for the next 8 years (through middle school). I would love to get some help to fix the areas that are hazardous. Would it be possible to meet with someone to look at this with me? If not, I have written down the addresses of most of the areas. The area of most concern is from the intersection of Lake Boone Trail and Ridge to 1900 Ridge. This section of sidewalk is narrower due to the bushes on the southern side encroaching on the sidewalk and then a 2" plus drop off on the other side. We had a scary close call there this week, which finally motivated me to write to you.

The other areas that I have noted were at 1908 Ridge, 1920 Ridge, 1924 Ridge, and 2000 Ridge.

Could you please look at the curb access on both sides of Lake Boone trail? As we cross and get on and off the curb you have to go down towards the line of traffic due to the angle of the curb cuts.

Please feel free to contact me if you need further information or guidance. Thank yo uso much for helping us with this.

Sincerely,

Can we do something about these guys? They are out here at West Morgan Center every afternoon harassing people for money - aggressive enough to knock on people's windows and vehicle doors. The one in the long coat is obviously suffering from a serious mental disorder and easily gets angry and flails his arms. It's only going to be a matter of time before he loses it completely and hurts someone. The white guy always with him urinates all the time, along the wall of the building at the laundry, or the wall at Trophy. He is drunk this afternoon and peeing right over the ledge at the parking lot.

What's wrong with this picture? This RPD cruiser has been illegally parked for some time now. This is a busy interesection and this RPD cruiser parked in NO PARKING ZONE is making it difficult for individuals pulling out of the parking lot across from the end of St. Mary's St at W Hargett. Cars pulling out have a limited line of sight due to the illegally parked (abandoned) RPD cruiser. I am sure any regular citizen would have a ticket and/or a boot by now. This RPD cruiser has been here for some time - not just temporarily.

I look forward to hearing the fix to this issue. Please don't just reply with "this car has been moved." I would like to see a formal response by the City why it is OK to leave a RPD car in a NO PARKING ZONE for extended periods of time where it makes a busy intersection UNSAFE for both pedestrians and drivers.

The entire City should be afforded to see this reply.

Thank you.
