  • South Boulevard & South Tryon Street Corridor Study FINDINGS REPORT
    South Boulevard & South Tryon Street Corridor Study FINDINGS REPORT City of Charlotte Department of Transportation June 30, 2017 South Boulevard & South Tryon Street 2 CORRIDOR STUDIES In 2016, the City of Charlotte began several multimodal planning studies to enhance pedestrian and bicycle travel on portions of arterials (thoroughfares) in Charlotte. The studies evaluate existing conditions, identify deficiencies, and make recommendations to improve the safety and ease of walking and biking along and across busy streets. These corridors were identified by many criteria including: four or more lanes, a posted speed limit over 35mph, top 15 transit ridership routes, no planned street improvements by other projects in the Community Investment Plan (CIP), and limited pedestrian crossing opportunities. The corridors currently being studied are: ӹ South Boulevard ӹ South Tryon Street ӹ West Boulevard ӹ Parkwood Ave & The Plaza This report describes why CDOT studied South Boulevard and South Tryon Street as well as CDOT’s findings from the study. The study recommendations and implementation schedule can be found starting on page 26. Parkwood Ave & The Plaza (2016) West Boulevard (2017) South Boulevard & South Tryon Street (2016) Figure 1: Corridor Studies in Charlotte South Boulevard & South Tryon Street 3 STUDY BACKGROUND Overview STUDY TIMELINE The South Boulevard & South Tryon Street Corridor Study analyzed the two corridors between Carson Boulevard and Clanton Road. These corridors provide key transportation links into Uptown from several 2016 neighborhoods including Dilworth, Wilmore and South End. Many apartment buildings and businesses have been constructed over the past several years, and the February Study initiated demands on the transportation system in this part of the city continue to evolve.
