• Wake Transit Plan to be Reviewed by Town Councils- Wake County has released a draft plan for improving and expanding bus and rail service in Wake County. Wake County Commissioners now want each Wake city and town council to review the proposed Wake Transit Plan and obtain their approval for moving forward with a transit funding referendum. David Cooke, Wake County Manager, and David King, General Manager of Triangle Transit, recently presented the plan at a Capital Area Friends of Transit event. View the presentation here. You can also view a summary and maps of the plan on WakeUP's Land Use and Transportation tab. For a more comprehensive look, check out the whole plan on Wake County's website. The first town council briefing is for the town of Garner, 7:30pm on December 15th.
• Event presentations, Water: Is the Bill Coming Due?-

  How much water do we have to meet growing demand in Wake County? What will the increasing costs be to provide clean drinking water and sewage disposal as infrastructure ages out?

  These questions and more are answered in Water: Is the Bill Coming Due?, a public forum that will be aired on Raleigh Television's Network (RTN), starting April 21 at 8 pm. The program will be aired regularly on RTN Channel 11 and on RTN online in the coming weeks as well.
