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.

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.

Drunks and Homeless Don't Mix.

A homeless shelter for recovering alcoholics next to a bar that serves nothing else than alcohol makes a great mix. I'm all for Trophy coming to the neighborhood, but I think they should have to serve food, it is a drunk fest as it is, but Raleigh needs to start a conversation about Cornerstone with the County. The Homeless at Cornerstone are drinking and smoking and littering the street. Our once quiet neighborhood doesnt need this.

Chapanoke Rd is a main road that leads into Renaissance Park Neighborhood where there are many people that walk up and down the road. This road has no break in it and people tend to travel at very high speeds during busy times of 7:30am to 9am - 4:45pm-7PM MTWTF and then it is a little less regimented on the weekends. However, someone is going to get hurt. There are small children that play in that neighborhood and active residence that are put at risk. This Road needs a stop sign or something to break the flow of traffic and slow people down. Speed tables would be great too. Something needs to happen before someone gets hurt. Also the STOP sign on Ileagnes has come down on one side. PLEASE HELP

This intersection has been a huge hazard for drivers and pedestrians. Children at play in there neighborhood are at a great risk. Cars travel down the road a high speeds and there is no break in speed until you are in the back of the neighborhood. Wrecks at this intersection occur monthly if not bi-weekly.

We've reported this before and some changes have been made but there is still an issue. Please look into this area and what can be done to make it safer for people entering the Renaissance Park sub-division.

There are several homeless male and females who are just sitting at bus stop no riding the bus.
