Concern
Agreed. If they won’t put a full traffic signal at Hucks/Old Statesville, they at least need dedicated right turn lanes. They also need railroad crossing gates here. I saw a car get hit by a train not too long ago. Every day I see people stop on the tracks.
Jennifer Apr 25 2025 at 10:30AM on page 81
Concern
Definitely need a traffic signal at Old Statesville/David Cox and Old Statesville/Hucks Rd.
Jennifer Apr 25 2025 at 10:23AM on page 57
Suggestion
The tree canopy in well-established residential neighborhoods is why we moved here. The city is letting high density housing come in and completely clear out the trees. Incentivize developers to leave a large percentage of the trees when building new neighborhoods.
Jennifer Apr 25 2025 at 10:17AM on page 46
Suggestion
Improve congestion by adding dedicated right turn lanes at every intersection.
Jennifer Apr 25 2025 at 10:09AM on page 36
Suggestion
Our roads would be greatly improved if every intersection had dedicated right turn lanes. It makes no sense to leave construction of right turns up to developers. It should be standard for our roads like it is in most other places I had traveled or lived. Dedicated right turn lanes are safer, decrease commute times, and improve health by lowering stress.
Jennifer Apr 25 2025 at 9:54AM on page 26
Concern
The residents of this area do not want more apartments and higher density housing. We moved here 18 years ago because we liked that it was close to everything, but still had a lot of trees and open spaces. Developers are being allowed to take every vacant lot and add apartments and townhouses. Traffic is terrible at most times of the day, not just rush hour. Trees are being bulldozed. We moved from the MD/DC/NoVa area because they ruined it by filling in every green space. More apartments make single family houses less affordable.

Suggestion
The corner of Old Statesville Road and David Cox Rd is extremely unsafe and requires a traffic light. I’ve been informed by Charlotte DOT that no light can be installed because of the existing train tracks on OSR which will now be home to the Red Line. The only solution will be an overpass to be constructed running east-west along David Cox Rd which will go up and over OSR and over the red line and ending on the Lakeview Rd side.
Denise Perez Apr 21 2025 at 4:13PM on page 52
Concern
The gas main at Carrier production facility’s gas main is near a fence at the bottom of an embankment near the corner of Hucks and Old Statesville Rd. Many cars have missed the turn onto OSR or avoided another accident and wound up just outside the fence nearly missing the gas main. On one occasion a school bus ran off the road when the driver had a seizure at the wheel and wound up inside Carriers fence coming to rest not far from the gas main. The gas main needs to be moved or better protected to avoid leveling this entire area.
Alexandra Rios Apr 21 2025 at 2:30PM on page 102
This area could use a lot more work.
Alexandra Rios Apr 21 2025 at 2:29PM on page 99
Charlotte will be known as the land of cheap townhouses. not the city of trees. We don't need more housing. We need more affordable housing. this does not translate to more development, it translated to the city doing its job and controlling the raising housing costs.
Alexandra Rios Apr 21 2025 at 2:27PM on page 94
yay more parking lots. high on sarcasm here. expect the heat island effect to get worse.
Alexandra Rios Apr 21 2025 at 2:26PM on page 94
not needed.
Alexandra Rios Apr 21 2025 at 2:26PM on page 94
how will people get here on foot? where is the nearest public transit stop? bike lanes? Youre not implementing what you say you will....
Alexandra Rios Apr 21 2025 at 2:25PM on page 94
honestly it doesnt feel like any of this is needed. youre just filling up the space to fill it up. where is the grocery store, public park, farmers market area, community garden etc.
Alexandra Rios Apr 21 2025 at 2:24PM on page 95
Where is the bike lane going? This is street is nowhere near wide enough. Also not enough trees.
Alexandra Rios Apr 21 2025 at 2:23PM on page 92
Again - why is the solution to wipe out the small pockets of trees we have left in the area??! You can do better than this guys. Just be more efficient with the spaces you've already botched with development here.
Alexandra Rios Apr 21 2025 at 2:21PM on page 82
Isn't Nevin Park right here? Are we crowding it?! This seems like the opposite of what "you want".
Alexandra Rios Apr 21 2025 at 2:19PM on page 58
Woof guys. This is bad.

all of it, it seems.

CC-7 ....this works but then the area gets developed and we're right back where we started. We had to prove the area desires these types of spaces in order for CC-8 to even happen and it's great when it does.....we just have to make sure other city departments like CDOT don't actively try to destroy the city's investment in these spaces.
Shika Apr 18 2025 at 11:13PM on page 53
Concern
quite frankly, city council isn't brave enough to make open space happen. In the past decade, C2 has had multiple opportunities to delegate space to be third spaces / public courtyards, parks, etc., but council continues to approves rezoning petitions for apartments, and they're not even affordable so I don't want to hear the "we need housing" argument. C2/C3 has precious few areas left to make a significant correction in this area, but will council align? Because this entire study means nothing if council continues to ACTIVELY vote against it.
Shika Apr 18 2025 at 10:56PM on page 41
Concern
where is the focus on green space and third places ? Not sure how you can have a goal to improve both parking AND pedestrian network / bike network at the same time. Focus on sidewalks and bike networks and connect them to actual gathering places like parks, not paved parking lots, we already have enough of those. M2 and M3 has absorbed enough housing.....now all of these people are here and they have to drive somewhere to walk their dog on grass, or drive to find a park to play with their kids....the 10 min amenity goal must include green spaces and third places, not just more dry cleaners.
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.
Syed Apr 7 2025 at 12:37PM on page 35
Question
When is this future avenue expected to be constructed? The Northfield Crossing/ Aberdeen / Cooper Ridge neighborhoods currently have to take a circuitous route to access outer 485 and the shopping centers/ amenities on the other side of 485. These neighborhoods are also in sidewalk island; we don't have sidewalk access to our nearest grocery stores/ shopping center / Mallard Creek Community Park!
Tim Rupar Apr 7 2025 at 9:38AM on page 15
Concern
We need to find a way to encourage construction companies to not bulldoze every established tree if we ever want "tree-shaded" walks anywhere. I understand it's easier and more efficient for them.... But it's ugly and unpleasant.
Todd Apr 6 2025 at 3:53PM on page 53
Concern
I can't imagine how you arrived at this evaluation. I live near a greenway, but there are no parks remotely near me - I think the nearest one is at least a 15 minute DRIVE from our house off of Harris Blvd. Note that things like soccer fields should NOT be considered the same as a park, where people can go to be in nature, walk, have picnics, or whatever. An athletic facility is completely different from a park.
Todd Apr 6 2025 at 3:41PM on page 26
Concern
It appears your intent is only to provide the desired features for people in newly built, mainly high-density places. That means that you have no intention to provide these desirable things to any of the people who are already here. That is not a good plan. It does nothing to improve the livability for any of the tens of thousands of people who live here now.

Todd Apr 6 2025 at 3:39PM on page 24
Never mind - I see now that this section is for "Vacant". (I find the format and language in this document very confusing.)
Todd Apr 6 2025 at 3:37PM on page 24
Concern
You only mention FUTURE NEIGHBORHOODS. Most of our area is already developed - don't your goals apply to all of us? - or just new development? It's not very useful if it only applies to the small fraction of the area that is not already developed.
Todd Apr 6 2025 at 3:32PM on page 22
Concern
I do not see anything in this paragraph about the "amenities" you say you want within a 10 minute safe walk.
Todd Apr 6 2025 at 3:30PM on page 15
Question
How do you intend to change existing development so that people are within a 10 minute safe walk from these amenities? I do not see any play that talks about adding new retail centers or other amenities where there are now houses or other things.
Todd Apr 6 2025 at 3:28PM on page 20
Concern
We already have FAR TOO MANY APARTMENTS in this area, and they are building more as fast as they can. It is ruining the character of the area, and horribly increasing traffic. If your goal is to shift our area even more to cheaply built apartments, you are definitely doing the OPPOSITE of what the people living here want. I have never heard a single person say anything favorable about the tons of new apartment buildings - but I constantly hear people with very negative views about it.
Kelsea Skinner Apr 5 2025 at 7:37AM on page 21
Question
Across all regions, what is the average percentage of plan area recommended to evolve?
Kelsea Skinner Apr 5 2025 at 7:35AM on page 15
Question
How much of the region is currently not in a ten-minute neighborhood?
