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. -
Rails to Real Estate Development Patterns Along
Rails to Real Estate Development Patterns along Three New Transit Lines March 2011 About This Study Rails to Real Estate was prepared by the Center for Transit-Oriented Development (CTOD). The CTOD is the only national nonprofit effort dedicated to providing best practices, research and tools to support market- based development in pedestrian-friendly communities near public transportation. We are a partnership of two national nonprofit organizations – Reconnecting America and the Center for Neighborhood Technology – and a research and consulting firm, Strategic Economics. Together, we work at the intersection of transportation planning, regional planning, climate change and sustainability, affordability, economic development, real estate and investment. Our goal is to help create neighborhoods where young and old, rich and poor, can live comfortably and prosper, with affordable and healthy lifestyle choices and ample and easy access to opportunity for all.

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. -
