Driver reports ‘suspected contaminated' fuel at Raleigh station. Sales paused

State inspectors don’t always find issues when they follow up on consumer complaints about gas stations. But in one recent case, a driver reported that the vehicle’s engine stalled after filling up at a Raleigh gas station. The vehicle was taken to a mechanic, who “suspected contaminated gas.” That complaint led to a follow-up inspection, where an inspector found sediment coming through the pump with diesel. While that’s not the fuel type the person who made the complaint had purchased, the finding could harm consumers. The inspector paused sales at the pump, until the issue could be fixed. Full story: Drivers complained about fuel quality at 24 Triangle gas stations. What tests found Here’s what to know about recent fuel quality inspections and how to report complaints: Between Aug. 19 and Oct. 31, the North Carolina Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services received fuel quality complaints about 24 stations across Wake, Durham, Chatham and Johnston counties.

Long-awaited pedestrian bridge opens near the Lenovo Center in West Raleigh

The signature red steel bridge over Wade Avenue in West Raleigh opens Saturday, providing safe passage for cyclists and pedestrians along a stretch of Blue Ridge Road near the N.C. Museum of Art . The bridge and connecting sidewalks are the first in what could be several changes in how people move about the area around the Lenovo Center as it develops into a 24-hour destination in coming years. It’s a milestone in the development of the area, said Nathan Spencer of the West Raleigh Alliance, a community group . “This bridge is the culmination of years of work by the alliance, in partnership with NCDOT and the City of Raleigh, to create a safe, dedicated pedestrian crossing for everyone: residents, State Fair visitors, concertgoers, and Wolfpack and Canes fans alike,” said Spencer, who co-chairs the group’s transit and transportation committee. The bridge will officially open at 11:30 a.m. as part of a wider celebration organized by the alliance and the city. “West Raleigh Multimodal Day,” as the event is called, aims to highlight the various ways of moving to and through a part of the city that draws visitors from throughout the region.
