10. When will my street be resurfaced?

Every 2-3 years the Town commissions a third-party engineering firm to evaluate all 220+ miles of streets the Town maintains.  Each street segment is given a "pavement condition rating" between 0 and 100, with a 100 being perfect condition and 0 being very poor condition.  The Town uses these scores to prioritize resurfacing efforts each year.  The Town does not resurface streets based on citizen requests, for aesthetic purposes, or to enhance property values.  

11. How can I request parking restrictions be added/removed from my street?

"No Parking" signs are added/removed on a petition basis.  Please contact your HOA to start the process.  Once the HOA notifies the Town of the request, staff conducts an on-site evaluation to determine the need for sign addition/removal.  

Parking restrictions are enforced by the Huntersville Police Department.
