Charlotte Streetcar Economic Development Study
Charlotte Streetcar Economic Development Study Prepared for: City of Charlotte Prepared by: Bay Area Economics (BAE) Warren & Associates Integra Realty Resources April 2009 Executive Summary Overview and Study Approach This Study presents an economic evaluation of the proposed Charlotte Streetcar, which would run on an approximately 10 mile corridor along Beatties Ford Road from Interstate-85 through Downtown and out along Elizabeth Avenue and Central Avenue to Eastland Mall. The central question addressed by this Study is how much funding could be anticipated from property-value based mechanisms, and what does this amount of potential funding mean for the feasibility of the proposed Charlotte Streetcar. The Study was prepared by BAE, a national urban economics and development advisory firm with expertise in transit-oriented development, in collaboration with Charlotte-based real estate firms Warren & Associates and Integra Realty Resources. The proposed Charlotte Streetcar would be an addition to existing City plans and proposals for multiple new rapid transit lines, including the Northeast Corridor Blue Line extension, North Corridor Purple Line commuter rail, Southeast Corridor Silver Line, and West Corridor. Different types of transit are being evaluated for use on the various corridors, including light rail, heavy commuter rail, bus rapid transit, and streetcar (the latter for the West Corridor). The Study involved identification of the lessons learned from other streetcar systems, thorough evaluation of local Charlotte markets and the proposed corridor, and preparation of detailed projections of potential property-value based funding. An academic literature review of streetcar systems (and related light rail) was conducted, along with qualitative and quantitative case study assessments of streetcar systems in other cities, and analysis of the impact of LYNX Blue Line on property values. -

What was once a desired path for Native Ameri- cans and Colonial settlers has now grown into a formidable city emerg- ing Oz-like from the flat, red-hued Piedmont. Charlotte is a city with a diverse history of gold, agriculture, textiles and banking. It has an im- pressive tree canopy that belies the miles of concrete below. It is steeped in Southern traditions, yet embraces growth and an influx of people and businesses. It is a city with a developing plan for expansion and a com- mitment to beauty and function, as evidenced in the art which has been integrated into an expanding public transit system. Patrons utilize this transit system for commuting to work, attending a sporting or cultural event or taking their families to an uptown parade. As they speed along, journeying from their homes to their destinations, they may engage in a dynamic art experience by observing the intention- ally designed stations and art placed along the way. -
