Umstead staff and NC Parks planners have developed 3 access alternatives under consideration for the Graylyn Drive/Ebenezer Church Rd area. These plans can be found on the following website: www.ncparks.gov/Visit/parks/wium/access.php and posted at the park. (Note: We mistakenly thought this info would be posted on the press release section of the NC Parks website and apologize for the misinformation.) We appreciate that the staff of Umstead and NC Parks considered the concerns of the 1460+ petitioners concerns about losing access at Graylyn and note that Alternative C provides for restored access to Graylyn.
At this time, it is critical once again for you to share your comments as done on the petition--but this time it will be specific to these 3 options and according the NC Parks' procedures. Your comments can be e-mailed to denr.dpr.media@ncmail.net , mailed to them at William Umstead State Park; 8801 Glenwood Ave; Raleigh NC 27617, or delivered to them at the visitor's center off of Hwy 70. The deadline for comments is 10/10/08. We also appreciate that the comment period was extended for this issue.
Please also share this information with others that might be interested.

For those who use the neighborhood park entrance at the intersection of Reedy Creek and Trenton Road and are frustrated with the NO PARKING signs and the muddy shoulders, there is an alternative.
The streets in two nearby subdivisions, the Lakes at Umstead and Trenton Place are within the city of Raleigh and are thus public streets. You can park there legally. The developer cannot make you leave, have your car towed or ticketed. If he threatens you, call the police.
Please be courteous to the residents.
thanks for posting the frequent updates the last few days. This site is a great resource for info on this subject.
