Effective Immediately-Updated Process for Right-of-Way/Driveway Cut(s)
The City of Raleigh is providing a higher level of service to the development community by providing a plan review of driveway cut(s) for existing residential parcels that contain a dwelling(s) or proposed dwelling(s). These reviews will help ensure that work done in the right-of-way meets existing code, preventing costly tear outs.
