The Land Development Staff considers requests to permanently close city streets. Requests for temporary street closures (for special events, road races, etc.) are handled by the Wilson Police Department. 

Review Process and Timing

Petitions for permanent street closure must first be submitted to the staff for review. Land Development Staff places a valid petition on the Technical Review Committee agenda for recommendation to the City Council. Upon recommendation by the TRC, the City Council will hold a meeting to set a public hearing date. At the public hearing, City Council will review the request for final determination.
