Yesterday, we contacted Representative Weiss for additional details she might have regarding the access issues to Umstead and received the following reply:
Lewis Ledford informed me that the Division of Parks and Recreation will give a report to the Park Advisory Committee tomorrow and will then be publicizing their proposed options for the Graylyn Dr. area on their website on Thursday and that rather than a 2 week public comment period, they will be having a 1 month comment period before making a final decision about Park access and management issues in this area. They plan to propose options related to Old Reedy Creek Road and Trenton Rd. at a future date. I encourage you and the other members of the Access Umstead coalition to examine the options and participate in the public comment period. Sincerely,Jennifer Weiss, NC House 35

Another politicians copout.
Rick,
Not sure what you are referring to but we want to make sure to set the record straight. Rep. Weiss has been very responsive to the petitioners from the very beginning. While some elected officials did not even respond and others responded superficially, Rep. Weiss responded promptly to all of our e-mails and calls. Along with Senator Cowell and Rep Ross, she initiated contact with NCParks and NCDOT to address the issue at hand. She also set up a meeting for us to meet with representatives from NC DOT and NC Parks. Her office also contacted us to see if we wanted time to present our cause to the Wake County delegates. If only all elected officials could be as responsive to their constituents!!
