Waiting For Reps' Replies

It has been ten days since the signed petition was sent to the state Representatives from this area. We have received several replies, most indicating they've made contact with DOT and DENR. We thanked them for their replies and are anxiously waiting for additional feedback. As indicated in a prior blog some positive feedback has been received.

Unfortunately not all representatives have replied/acknowledged receipt of the petition and yesterday we resent the petition to them. Here is a list of those reps that have failed to reply. Their email address is included just in case you want to voice your opinion to them.

Dan Blue danb@ncleg.net
Linda Coleman lindac@ncleg.net
Nelson Dollar nelsond@ncleg.net
Paul Stam pauls@ncleg.net
Vernon Malone vernonm@ncleg.net
Marilyn Avila marilyna@ncleg.net

We, also, sent the petition to several Raleigh City Council Members. A couple replied. We weren't sure they could do anything for us, but, decided to copy them anyway. Here is Philip R. Isley's reply:

I’ve been told by the city that we’ve exhausted our remedies for this situation. We have tried to get the state to modify their plans for parking (or lack thereof) to no avail. I’ll try to get up with some of our local delegation in the NC Legislature to discuss this with them. Unfortunately, the city is not able to do anything about this. Like many things in Raleigh, the State just does not care how actions affect this city.

We think Mr. Isley deserves our thanks for his effort.

This coming week the Committee will follow up with the Representatives who have contacted DOT and DENR for a progress report.

There are more than 1300 signatures on the petition. Thanks for your support.
