AUGUST 2020 NEWSLETTER • Obey all pedestrian trac signals. • Cross the street where you have the best view of trac. At bus stops, cross behind the bus or at the nearest crosswalk. • At night, walk in well-lit areas, carry a ashlight or wear something reective to be more visible. Right turns to streets or driveways. Central Avenue Bus Lane launches Oct. 8 Dedicated transit lanes have been successful in cities across the country, by providing more transportation options, improving safety, and encouraging sustainable transportation choices. In December 2019, CATS and CDOT implemented the City’s first Shared Bus-Bike BUS Lane. With the success of the 4th Street bus/bike lane pilot, CATS and Y ONL CDOT looked for other opportunities to implement dedicated transit corridors in Charlotte. On September 8, 2020, Charlotte City Council approved a dedicated bus lane pilot along Central Ave from Eastland Transit Center to Eastway Drive. Road work began September 21 and includes lane restriping, signal work, and signage installation. CATS staff is also evaluating increasedONL busY frequency along Route 9. The official completion of the pilotBUS lane is October 8. This means only bus and bikes can travel in the lane. With the success of Phases 1 and 2, the two lanes could eventually be connected during a Phase 3 extension from Eastway Drive into Uptown. Find more information about the project and a survey about the lane on the CATS website.

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.

  • Charlotte What Has Charlotte Done to Attract Transit Oriented Development and Fulfill the Local Vision? Lessons Learned • What’S Next?
    12 Years of TOD in Charlotte What Has Charlotte Done to Attract Transit Oriented Development and Fulfill the Local Vision? Lessons Learned • What’s Next? I’m going to talk about what Charlotte has done to attract transit oriented development, how we’ve tried to fulfill the vision for our transit station areas, what we’ve learned in the past decade-plus, and what we see ahead of us. Charlotte has one light rail corridor, the LYNX Blue Line, which is operated by CATS, the Charlotte Area Transit System. CATS is a department of the City of Charlotte. The Blue Line corridor runs roughly north-south and bisects the center city, known as Uptown. The first segment of the Blue Line, the South Corridor, opened in late-2007. It runs 9-1/2 miles from Uptown southward and has 15 stations. In March of this year the Blue Line Extension was opened. This extended the Blue Line from Uptown 9-plus miles to the north, where it terminates on the campus of the University of North Carolina at Charlotte with its 29,000 students. This Extension added another 11 stations for a total of 26 along the corridor. Ridership is around 28,000 on a typical weekday. STATION AREA PLANNING ADOPTED FUTURE LAND USE South End Transit University City Transit Station Area Plan Station Area Plan 2005 2015 Charlotte began preparing for TOD well before the first light rail train rolled down the tracks. Unlike many cities, South End Vision Plan Blue Line Extension Charlotte didn’t acquire or hold onto excess land around its 2018 Transit Station Area Plan transit stations for the purpose of soliciting proposals for 2013 transit oriented development projects.

  • Charlotte Streetcar Study 4 13 09
    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.
