Uptown Connects Study Public Workshop

The Charlotte Department of Transportation (CDOT) is hosting a public workshop to receive input on preliminary concepts and associated tradeoffs, such as converting a vehicular travel lane to a protected bicycle lane, for the Uptown Connects Study. The Study focuses on identifying additional pedestrian and bicycling access opportunities to and through Uptown by connecting to existing and future greenways, potential protected bicycle lanes and urban trail facilities.

Public Workshop
Tuesday, September 20, 2016 
Charlotte Mecklenburg Government Center 
600 East Fourth Street, Room 267
Charlotte, NC 28202 
Drop in anytime between 4 p.m. and 7 p.m.

CDOT is evaluating options gathered from previous stakeholder interviews to connect the Little Sugar Creek, Irwin Creek and Stewart Creek greenways. The study also considers linking the South End and Uptown segments of the Charlotte Rail Trail and the future Mooresville to Charlotte Trail. The study will recommend a comprehensive bicycle network in Uptown.
