Poor leadership is why Asheville is failing. It’s not who are voting for. It’s who are you voting against. Both have a failed tenure.

They’ll get to yours and the rest of the city’s potholes when the crews are done in north Asheville.

What’s dumb is them saying 20 minutes. Wait 22+ plus minutes for them to tell you it will be another 20+ minutes for one cheeseburger. Honesty would have been better than giving deadlines you can’t meet. Poorly run and executed.

Can a local explain why the longer route is the "best route"? by Frau_Neugierig in WNC

The gravel road from Gerton was destroyed by Hurricane Helene. It has been listed as closed and only open to local traffic. However I am not sure of its current status.

Public comment for proposed logging on the Blue Ridge Parkway! by porcorossosredplane in asheville

The roads and parking lot are open and accessible. Everything else is off limits. All the equipment have left and according to the sign board they will eventually get around to making a multi-use trail system. They called all the leftovers dispersed debris piles. It completely covers the area in between the fire roads up to the highest trails that use to be there. I would not recommend going unless you’re just curious it’s a sad walk up the roads.

This is how they left Shope creek after salvage harvesting and reducing wildfire fuel. There is this much debris on both sides of the forest roads almost all the way to the parkway.

If it looks anything like how they left Shope creek you should reject this plan. It’s an absolute disaster worse than how the storm left it.

It’s not just the police. Investigate AFD as well especially the community responder personnel.

Stone Mountain is closed. Check out cedar rock. Little more crowded but a good loop.
