Residential Street Closures
A Residential Street Closure Permit is required for an outdoor gathering of neighbors located on or along a street abutting their residences for which a portion of the street is closed to traffic.
Residential Street Closure Requests require the approval and signature of homeowners impacted by the street closure. A Roster of Affected Homeowners must be included with your application. The number of required homeowner signatures is calculated as follows:
- Length of Street Closure | % Required Signatures of Affected Homeowners
- More than 1/2 mile | 50% or more
- Less than 1/2 mile | 75% or more
When you apply online, you must also submit a map indicating the location of the street closure and placement of the barricades. City staff will deliver and pick-up barricades at the designated locations prior to your event and pick-up the following business day.
Residential Street Closures are limited to eight hours per day and twice per calendar year by location, plus the annual National Night Out in October.
To apply for a Residential Street Closure, submit the online application at least 10 business days prior to your event. Upload the required Roster of Affected Homeowners and a map showing the street closure location and barricades placement.
You can apply for a Residential Street Closure permit as a stand-alone request or in conjunction with a neighborhood event using the Block Party Trailer.
