📰 News we're reading

1. Huntersville approves parking deck property purchase, e-bike ordinance (lakenormanpublications.com) — Huntersville leaders have approved buying land on North Maxwell Street—using eminent domain if necessary—to build a new downtown parking deck serving Town Hall, Veterans Park, and future development. They also immediately enacted townwide rules for e-bikes, including helmet requirements for riders under 18 and $50 fines, with police planning an education-first approach before strict enforcement.
   

2. Where to See Owls in WNC, Charlotte & SC (kiddingaroundgreenville.com) — Huntersville's Carolina Raptor Center is a prime spot to see owls up close, with a dedicated Raptor Trail and several fall events just minutes from local neighborhoods. The guide lists Owl-O-Ween, homeschool days, and other owl-focused programs in Huntersville alongside night hikes and owl walks across the Carolinas, giving residents plenty of options for family-friendly nocturnal adventures. Plan ahead for October and November dates.
   

3. 10 North Carolina Nature Playgrounds With Treehouses, Trails And Endless Adventure (takingthekids.com) — Huntersville families get a special shout-out with Rosedale Nature Park's mix of fenced treehouse playground and open natural play area right in town. The guide also spotlights other standout nature playgrounds across North Carolina, but emphasizes how Huntersville's park blends zip lines, climbing structures, and wooded trails into an easy local adventure. Pack snacks, bug spray, and sturdy shoes.
   

4. Charlotte City Council votes to reinstate support of I-77 project (spectrumlocalnews.com) — Huntersville drivers are tied into Charlotte's renewed support for the I-77 South Express Lanes, since local towns could owe tens of millions if the project is canceled. Charlotte's 7-4 vote reverses its earlier opposition, after lawmakers threatened repayment from all communities that pulled support, including Huntersville, Cornelius, and Davidson. A final regional vote comes Wednesday.
