Paving and Resurfacing Streetlight Requests Traffic Calming

The Transportation and Engineering Services Departments administer the planning, design, and construction of most public roadways and sidewalks within the Raleigh city limits. The sections below provide information on how to request street improvements. 

View Report Street, Streetlight and Sidewalk Problems for information on reporting problems along city streets.

Paving and Resurfacing

Streets with curbs and gutters that have been accepted by the City of Raleigh are eligible for continuous maintenance, including resurfacing. Eligible streets in the most need of repair are scheduled for resurfacing as part of the City's Annual Street Resurfacing Program. For more information, email Street Resurfacing.

Unpaved streets and streets without curbs and gutters are usually not eligible for the City's annual paving program. Potholes on these streets are filled as needed. However, resurfacing and other street improvements along these streets require action by the City Council and are usually initiated via the Petition Process. For more information, contact petition staff.

Streetlight Requests

The City's Streetlight Program coordinates the planning and installation of all new streetlights on public streets within the city limits with each energy provider.

Traffic Calming

The management of traffic volumes and speeds on residential streets can be a challenge. While all public streets available are for use by the public, it is every driver's responsibility to drive at safe speeds on the streets where we live. But when the drivers don't behave, residents can seek assistance from the Neighborhood Traffic Management Program.
