This team was one of many from around the Carolinas that to submitted a proposal for redevelopment of a 45-acre site on the LYNX Blue Line Extension currently under construction in the University City area of Charlotte. Join us to learn what they proposed!

Then, at 7:15, we'll raffle off a package of 6 bottles of wine from Dover Vineyards (three red and three white, a $120 value!). Tickets are just $5 for one or $10 for three!

This is a family-friendly event and everyone is warmly welcomed. 

Building connectivity back into Charlotte's disconnected neighborhoods

You don't have to look at a map of the Charlotte area for long to figure out which neighborhoods were built before and after the time that cars became popular. As the grid-based blocks of the 19th and early 20th centuries gave way to cul-de-sacs beginning in the 1950s, we lost the foundation of vibrant neighborhoods. We lost our connectivity. 

At Monday's meeting of the City Council Transportation and Planning committee, staff from the Charlotte Department of Transportation and Planning Department told the story of how Charlotte lost its connected street network and how we're working to rebuild it.
