Good news: City of Raleigh's Support

We met with Mayor Meeker and Vic Lebsock, the city greenway planner, on June 4. We discussed the decreased number of safe, convenient access points in Raleigh for Umstead State Park users and the significant, detrimental impact it has made on the community of park users being unable to enjoy the park as frequently or not at all.

Mr Meeker was supportive and pledged involvement of the City of Raleigh in finding a solution.

We shared some of our ideas with Mr Lebsock who has a meeting next week with NC Parks and Recreation to discuss Umstead access issues. Mr Lebsock will be keeping us informed.
