Ryan Eades for Cary Town Council, District D

10/11/2023

I want to take a moment to express my appreciation to all of you who supported my campaign and all the voters that came out to cast their votes. Your dedication, hard work, and belief in our vision for the community have been inspiring.

While the results may not have favored my campaign, it's important to recognize all those that come out to voice their choices. I want to extend my congratulations to my two opponents. Sarika and Rachel, on a hard-fought campaign and best of luck to both of them in the upcoming runoff.

To all those who cast their ballots in support of our vision, I want to assure you that, while I may no longer be your representative in this capacity, I remain dedicated to the betterment of our community. I will continue to work alongside you, advocating for the issues that matter most to our community. We share a common goal of prosperity and the well-being of our community and are all united by our love for Cary.

I want to offer a special thanks to my wife, who has been with me through this whole journey, and to my campaign team, family, and everyone who believed in me. The journey may have ended different than I had hoped but I appreciate all the help and support I’ve received along the way!

Thanks to the Cary Town Council for entrusting in me with their unanimous vote, following the appointment process in January 2023. This allowed me to start improving the connectivity in western Cary by coordinating the first ever joint Town/HOA event in District D. It was evident that this was the first step in starting the process, but there is more work to be done. I would like work with the Town to build a more cohesive plan for Road Transitions, Sidewalks, Crosswalks, and Greenways. Please consider voting for me tomorrow in the Cary Municipal Elections to KEEP my seat on Cary Town Council. Lookup your Polling Place and make a plan! https://vt.ncsbe.gov/PPLkup/

West Cary Pedestrian Safety Updates!

A citizen reached out to me on NextDoor for help with concern over the safety of Panther Creek HS student walkers crossing McCrimmon. Town of Cary, NC Staff has collaborated with NCDOT to identify solutions that will have a notable impact on pedestrian safety and vehicle circulation and are now utilizing the Spot Traffic Safety Program resources to further refine options.

The second one will assess the impact of pedestrian safety improvements associated with the Nancy Branch Greenway crossing of Green Level Church Road. This crosswalk has been identified for additional signage and markings in an effort to increase yield compliance by drivers on Green Level Church.

VHB has been contracted to collect data before and after installation of these improvements so Town Staff can utilize this study to help evolve Cary's approach to crosswalk safety town-wide. Please reach out to me or call 311 to report any additional safety concerns.

It’s an honor to be the only candidate in the District D race that the Mayor endorses.

Mayor Harold Weinbrecht has been such a mentor for me, supporting me not only as a current councilmember, but also while running for my current seat in the Cary election.

When will the Carpenter Fire Station Road Bridge be completed?

The contractor has begun staining the textured architectural concrete walls for the railroad overpass that supports CSX Railroad. The new railroad overpass spans the future east-west connector roadway that will ultimately connect Louis Stephens Drive to NC 55 Highway. The textured bridge walls are reminiscent of architectural features within and adjacent to the Historic Carpenter District. Staining is expected to be completed in September, and the new roadway is set to open to traffic in late Fall 2023.
