Question
Wondering if the old dry cleaner @ 7221 Albemarle Rd is considered a brownfield or haz. site? It is being turned into (yet another) vape shop. Is this something that needs to be cleaned up? my guess is that the vape shop owners will not do this.

Traviis May 12 2025 at 5:41PM on page 14

Suggestion
Are City Services considered amenities? The city does a great job with trash and lawn pickup and water (AFAIK). There is less done with cleaning streets and beautification than appears to be done in other [affluent] parts of town.

Tolu May 9 2025 at 4:43PM on page 6

Suggestion
Add the month the plan was adopted instead of repeating in line 3.

Ex: Line 1: In June 2021, Charlotte City Council...
Ex: Line 2: Remove Adopted in June 2021. Start sentence with, The Plan is the foundation...

Suggestion
Duplicate slide to #40

Louanne Apr 25 2025 at 8:22AM on page 22

Suggestion
The Charlotte Museum of History is a community and entertainment center within this area. With city support, it could grow into an even stronger center, with additional programming, festivals, food options, and educational opportunities. The potential is there - and the city can foster its growth.

Gerald Apr 22 2025 at 8:47PM on page 48

Suggestion
The intersection of Lawrence Orr Road and Hickory Grove Road has not been considered in this plan. This area is in dire need of a traffic light with a crosswalk to allow the community to safely cross the street to access the library.
The community has requested this as an option via CDOT; however, the request was denied. We were told that we would have to wait 2 years before submitting a request for reconsideration. In the next two years additional housing developments will be completed, adding to an area that is close to a daycare, two 3 schools, library and a community center.

The city's 2040 Plan calls for 10-minute walkable neighborhoods, however this can only be achieved if it's safe to actually walk.

Gerald Apr 22 2025 at 8:37PM on page 46

Suggestion
It appears that the intersection of Albemarle Road and Farm Pond Lane is not being addressed in SIA plan. This particular throughfare is in desperate need of improvement which is not just limited to infrastructure but also the lack of quality CATS bus stops to encourage new ridership.

Sheldon Apr 22 2025 at 2:09PM on page 14

Concern
This page is difficult to understand. What are the numbers in the colored boxes? I would assume they are the priority score based on the key below, but the colors do not match.

Matt Apr 7 2025 at 2:09PM on page 1

Concern
The number one priority in 10 out of the 15 neighborhoods is for housing availability? There is no shortage of housing or apartments we have vancancies because they overbuilt! So the only reasonable conclusion is that the study suggests our housing prices are too high? That's capitalism...you can't control the market prices or the macro-economic environment. Just because I want to live in quail hollow doesn't give me the right or mean they should build cheap duplexes so I can. This study focuses on a far-left socialist agenda rather than real ways to improve the city. Genuinely curious how many tax dollars were spent on this study to tell us we need more of this race here and that race there. Charlotte councilemen let me save you some of our money in the future build bike lanes and improve walkability.

Question
How is this a low priority when Tree canopy, and open spaces rank as #4?

Question
GReat legend, where are the greenways?

Nadia Anderson Apr 5 2025 at 3:23PM on page 21

Concern
Throughout this planning process, place types have been confused with building typologies. 3-6-over-one buildings are going up everywhere, creating a generic character throughout the city. Monroe Road is a really interesting commercial road with a lot of character. Yes, it’s too car-oriented but turning it into South Boulevard or what Central Avenue is now becoming would be inappropriate. In addition, buildings like the 3-over-1 in the photo can rarely support the small businesses they have displaced. This is a huge part of East Charlotte’s character that requires different typologies to maintain its sense of place.

Nadia Anderson Apr 5 2025 at 3:12PM on page 21

Concern
I recognize both photos and while I think the overall idea is a good one, these locations are SO different! How would this happen? I wish these plans had more specific mechanisms re how, not just what should happen.

Nadia Anderson Apr 5 2025 at 3:06PM on page 31

Suggestion
Will there be a mechanism for creating opportunities for community/neighborhood discussions about particular locations to create more specific guidelines before developers make proposals? For example, the intersection of Albemarle and EWT Harris is a jumble of different commercial building types, very car-oriented with huge parking lots and little room for pedestrians. There are also no public spaces, no “third places” and these are sorely needed. There need to be opportunities for local people to envision what a specific space like this could be that go beyond the 2040 Plan. The place types are pretty generic, can’t be applied in the same way everywhere.

Also, small charrettes with hand-picked participants aren’t enough. Hold multi-lingual charrettes in the strip mall parking lots along Albemarle on weekends, see what happens.

Concern
Reddman Forest Park and Cedarwood Neighborhood Park are two separate parks. Cedarwood Neighborhood Park is much smaller.

Anonymous Apr 5 2025 at 9:47AM on page 35

Concern
Redmann Road has a permanent barricade to vehicular traffic with a pedestrian crossing bridge. This will never be a collector road. This road closure was made permanent by the state of North Carolina and the City of Charlotte.

Joan Apr 5 2025 at 12:45AM on page 97

Suggestion
The roundabout at Cambridge Commons and Harrisburg Road must be redone and enlarged. Better paint edging for night visibility. Right lane exit to 485 should come earlier - where white poles are now.

Joan Apr 5 2025 at 12:07AM on page 21

Concern
The intersection of Harrisburg Road and Reedy Creek has a new cleared tract, what will be built here next to Bradfield Farms? Townhomes, apartments, duplexes or single family homes? The traffic is heavy in AM since Harrisburg is a 2-lane road with turn lanes for 485 and one for Bradfield Farms. Where will the access be for the new development?
