There is a grassy knoll immediately adjacent to this area that could easily be paved and opened for parking.

I would like to receive an explanation from the parks and Recreation Department on this issue.

Is Raleigh or Cary responsible for this? I thought this was in Cary? I know Cary has town property (sewer plant or something) back down the road from this.

The Town of Cary is currently studying the potential for a parking lot off Old Reedy Creek Road in north Cary, including site selection and designing the lot. The design project should be complete by March 2013. You can learn more about this project on the Town's website at http://www.townofcary.org/Departments/Parks__Recreation___Cultural_Resources/Projects/oldreedycreektrailhead.htm.

Thanks for addressing this.

As a study is not a parking lot, Id like to keep this issue open. The study may find that the lot is not acceptable, or have other hold ups such as funding. These issues can be brought back to users who can then further advocate for this request. Thanks!

Looking forward to a positive resolution to this issue from the Town of Cary.

Leaving this open, as like I said, a study is not a solution. A study may indicate a solution.

Anyone heard anything new on this?

I was told by the Cary Parks Manager that the design is being finalized and they have submitted a grant application for construction, and have received tentative word that they will receive the construction funding in October.

I opened this issue over a year ago, and appreciate all the comments. I am satisfied that the Town of Cary is addressing this issue and now recommend this issue be closed.
