  • Attend City Council meeting on April 28 or send them a public comment email at ashevillecitycouncilapr282026@publicinput.com. Ask them to require a Ravenscroft traffic study as a condition of their approval of 50 Coxe Ave affordable housing development. The city excluded the dangerous Hilliard/Ravenscroft intersection from their approval process. Ravenscroft will see an increase of 70 cars/day. Protecting resident parking, turning Ravenscroft into a one-way, northbound street and addressing the curb at Ravenscroft and Sawyer need to be requested, as well. Meeting is at City Hall: 2nd floor Council Chamber at 5:00pm.
  • Contact Community Resource Officer, Blake Fadler, to report crime in your neighborhood. Email at jfadler@ashevillenc.gov or call 828-772-1289.
  • Call or text 877-828-ADID (2343) between 8:30am-10:30pm to ask Ambassadors from the Asheville Downtown Improvement District to address sanitation issues like broken glass, graffiti, litter, etc. within the district. Include a photo and exact location for faster service. Sign up for their newsletter.
  • Use 5calls.org which makes it easy to call your elected officials to express your POV on issues that matter to you. Download their App (Apple / Google) to make it even easier to use on your phone.
  • Donate to Buncombe County Democratic Party. The county director is a volunteer. The party works to get out the vote and get Democratic candidates elected. A recurring monthly donation makes it easier to predict available funds to power these efforts.
