Honeycut Greenway Trail Information

Update as of March 2, 2010:
On March 2nd, the Raleigh City Council approved Greenway Plan Alternate #4 through Summerfield North. This greenway trail will be composed of both new paved trails through wooded portions of land already owned by the City of Raleigh that stretches from Old Deer Trail to Clearbrook Drive. At the point where the wooded trail enters upon Clearbrook Drive the greenway will continue upon existing paved sidewalks that run along the roads of Clearbrook, Mourning Dove and Running Cedar. It is expected that construction could commence in the Fall/Winter months of 2010 for the new greenway
as this portion of the trail will be a piece to a larger planned greenway system aka Honeycutt Trail, which will eventually connect both Shelly Lake and Falls Lake with our neighborhood.

Lanscaping to be installed for the Traffic Calming Medians
Update as of February 16, 2010:
We have been notified by the City Raleigh Public Works Department that the process of designing the landscaping of the Traffic Calming installation is underway. They have met with a Landscape Architect and anticipate beginning the design by mid-March. Tentatively, a public meeting will be held in early April to present the design and we anticipate installation in mid May. We will keep up updated on any developments.

See the list of Drought Resistant Plants that are approved by the city. Feel free to take a look and use them in your own landscaping.

Have a Street Light Burned Out on Your Street? Here's how to get it replaced by the City:
If you have noticed any streetlights that have burned out please call Progress Energy at 508-5400 and give them the nearest house address and Pole # (located on the pole) to have the light replaced. This will help keep the neighborhood well lit which improves safety, security and visibility.

Please Pick Up After Your Pets
Calling all dog owners! Please remember that City of Raleigh has a leash law and scoop law. We know a majority of our neighbors are responsible and law abiding, however this reminder is for the few that are amiss. Be considerate of your neighbors, their lawns and the law - please keep your dogs on a leash and pick up after your pets. Thank you.
