    Curious about what is being built at jones dairy/hwy 98 in front of gateway commons? New construction has started on something commercial. Any idea?
  • 205 Jones Dairy Road Wake Forest, NC 27587, USA - Wake County
    The new stop lights at jones dairy and 98 are not aligned with the lanes. I've personally run a red there thinking mine looked green. I just saw two people run through the intersection now. I've previously witnessed at least 5 other incidents recently. Someone is going to get killed
  • Chalks Road Junkyard Wake Forest, North Carolina - Wake Forest

    The unsightly junkyard on Chalks Road is an eyesore that does not adhere to the architectural standards of Wake Forest. I have to apply for a permit to have any storage building built to match my home in my fenced in backyard, but this eyesore is allowed to be exposed because it's "grandfathered in".

    Apparently, they've been given leniency because when they cut Chalks Road expansion, it exposed their property - which they claim is a viable business (though it's rare to see any items LEAVE the property - only enter the property).

    I've exchanged multiple emails with the Town of Wake Forest in which I've been told that there at one time was a plan to create some "landscape screening" around the junkyard to make it less visible, but that it was not a budget priority in 2012. I touched base with them again in February and again this summer to inquire about plans to budget for it in 2013 - and now I can't get anyone to respond to me at all. It continually falls on deaf ears.

    I'm seeking help in pushing this through and having a fence or some sort of screening enforced to preserve the property values of surrounding neighborhoods. Not only is it an eyesore, but it's a welcome mat for vagrants to hide in (as we've recently discovered).
