This has been a trail My wife and I take our little girls to explore and enjoy for many years when going for a family walk we discovered this white fence with no trespassing posted! This was extremely upsetting for My family to see, so we want to take action against it.
Travis supported: Reopen Community Access to Poyner Road Trail and Umstead Park in Raleigh, NCThis path was the safest way of getting to Umstead park without driving or having to bike a long way on the street. This fence takes away a lot of the walkability of this community. I hope at least the small path through the woods joining the 2 neighborhoods can be opened up
Paul supported: Reopen Community Access to Poyner Road Trail and Umstead Park in Raleigh, NCWe've been using this access to easily reach umstead for family walks, as well as the many trails for mini hikes and educational purposes for our young kiddos for almost a decade. This was the highlight of the neighborhood, and especially as summer approaches, losing access to not only OUR community trails but Umstead...
P.s. I've never seen a motorized vehicle within these trails in 10 years. It's ALL families with young children, folks walking their dogs and the occasional bike. We want it back.
Christina supported: Reopen Community Access to Poyner Road Trail and Umstead Park in Raleigh, NCI live right around the corner from the connector trail. I used it several times per week. The first time I approached the trail and saw the closure, I was actually stunned. I started a different petition to ask to reopen as soon as I could. That petition can be found here: https://www.change.org/p/reopen-community-access-to-poyner-road-trail-and-umstead-park-in-raleigh-nc I notified the signers of the petition I started so that those who don't know will know now. Please consider at least opening up the connector trail. Thank you.
John supported: Reopen Community Access to Poyner Road Trail and Umstead Park in Raleigh, NCI have used this trial/access point for running and walking my dog for years - since I moved into the Delta Ridge neighborhood. Very disheartening to now have this area vehemently blocked-off from any access, based on the irresponsible actions of a small # of people/isolated incident(s); none of which are the vast minority of long-time, responsible users of this area for actual outdoor recreation Nd personal enjoyment.
Casey supported: Reopen Community Access to Poyner Road Trail and Umstead Park in Raleigh, NCAs a Pottsville resident, this trail would be a fabulous addition to the area. Walking around town can be treacherous with uneven pavement and frequent stops with traffic lights. A three-mile loop would be heaven sent and a safe place for people to exercise and explore. Plus, as an environmental educator, it would place a great reaching location in an urbanized area, helping bring those into nature who may need it most.
