Expecting 400,000 New Charlotteans, CDOT Projects $5B in Transportation Needs [PlanCharlotte] 

"By 2040 Charlotte will grow by 400,000 people, city transportation planners project – an increase equal to the population of the cities of Minneapolis, Cleveland, Miami or New Orleans. How can Charlotte handle all those new daily trips? The city’s Department of Transportation is proposing the city spend $5 billion over 25 years to keep up with transportation needs...Projects would include designing the streets for use by pedestrians and bicyclists in addition to motor vehicles – 'multimodal' in traffic planner lingo." Adding infrastructure for pedestrians and bicyclists is a critical component of smart growth and critical to Charlotte's sustainability!

9 Reasons to Choose a Bike-Bus-Train Trip Over a Drive [PlanCharlotte]

"On a spontaneous weekend recently, I got to compare different ways of traveling. On Saturday my boyfriend and I took a driving trip from Boston, where I live now, to the coast. The next day we took a spur-of-the-moment trip to coast again, this time to the Cape using trains, bikes and buses. Afterward, I realized how different the two journeys had been – the second trip was a far richer experience. During the five years I lived in Charlotte, where non-driving travel is difficult, I never had the chance for this direct comparison of trip modes." We love this article by Keihly Moore who recently moved from Charlotte to Boston. We encourage you to take her advice and explore via bike/walk/transit on your next vacation!
