Please advise any employees who park in either the Cabarrus Deck or our Salisbury Deck that they will have to exit onto Gale St., turn right and then enter our surface lot to cut through to McDowell St. and then go north or west. We're not sure that even Davie St. is open to the east. Expect traffic delays and detours if incident is not resolved shortly. " |
Apparently there's some crazy lady going on a rampage downtown and they've shut down those blocks as a result

RALEIGH, N.C. — Raleigh police closed several blocks to vehicle and pedestrian traffic Monday afternoon in response to a woman who threatened to hurt herself.
Police said the woman was in a parking lot on Cabarrus Street between McDowell and Salisbury. They cordoned off the area around the parking lot, but had not evacuated buildings.
Two other downtown streets are closed temporarily as well: Salisbury Street between Davie and Cabarrus and Gale Street between Davie and Cabarrus." |

WRAL said it was a woman "threatening to harm herself."
Last year it was a naked woman running around downtown.

I hope she's at least waving around an AK-47 or something. Seems bizarre to shut down city blocks for just a suicide threat. There aren't any buildings high enough to jump off of over there. 5/7/2012 3:29:01 PM |

she sitting on the ledge of the parking deck. Not exactly the highest structure but she could succeed if she were to jump. 5/7/2012 4:15:59 PM |

They were escorting people to their cars. I had to detour down to the courthouse to get to the Gale street lot.
Plus there was one of the managers of the parking deck shouting at the cops because of the gridlock situation they had created with rush hour coming.
