Suggestion

It's clear this parking lot is too big for current needs, encourage owner to add outparcels for a restaurant or coffee shop. Create traffic circle at Mallard Creek and Sugar Creek - Inspiration - Governor Morrison St Circle in South Park area. We too can have nice things!

Theresa McDonald Jul 14 2025 at 3:49PM on page 92

Suggestion

This area is slated to be within quarter mile of Derita station on the red line. It should be prioritized for mixed use, higher density residential and improvements to roads to add safe and pleasant pedestrian and bike infrastructure.

Theresa McDonald Jul 14 2025 at 3:45PM on page 88

Concern

The intersection at N.Graham and W.Sugar Creek is ridiculously large and dangerous. A roundabout would calm traffic and reduce risk of high speed crashes. It's hard to imagine how to improve pedestrian experience with 300 ft plus curb to curb but this is anothet potential neighborhood center that could add third places and meet other neighborhood needs within walking distance but the sheer size of the road and the high speed highway design is completely wrong.

Theresa McDonald Jul 14 2025 at 3:42PM on page 88

Suggestion

All of these potential projects would transform an area that is close to walkable with access to a neighborhood center ( downtown Derita) and future red line station ( Gibbon and Nevin). Encourage some innovative higher density mixed use development in this area to create the synergy for these improvements. This area is just a hair away from a very pleasant 10 minute neighborhood.

Theresa McDonald Jul 14 2025 at 3:32PM on page 40

Concern

Large swaths lacking mixed use and forcing car dependence for all needs.

Theresa McDonald Jul 14 2025 at 3:28PM on page 36

Concern

Our roads are too wide with too many planes in paces, and too narrow with no shoulder nevermind sidewalk or bike lanes in others. There is lots of evidence to support slowing down cars with narrower lanes and street trees, wide sidewalks and multipurpose paths to allow for safe alternatives to driving. Wide, high speed roads do nothing to solve congestion and only add higher cost, dangerous speeds and hostile environment during off peak times.

C Jul 11 2025 at 12:02AM on page 58

Concern

This is due to all of the recent developments and the "baby trees" that were planted. Which by the way are not enough and these corporations need to replant a higher percentage.

C Jul 10 2025 at 11:50PM on page 36

Question

What is the approximate percentage of how many EV charging stations will there be around the city? The ones we currently have are eye sores and take up parking. Also can Duke's grid support these stations and are they partnering with the city in these energy goals?

C Jul 10 2025 at 11:47PM on page 36

Suggestion

If you're trying to make Charlotte roads safer, also add to this investment using reflective paint on roadways that can be seen in the dark and inclement weather. This project is severely overdue and we're often told its not in the budget.

C Jul 10 2025 at 11:35PM on page 15

Concern

This area is now at the point that we should be near any goal of housing diversity. All you see is multifamily development. Many people moved to this area for the benefit of being in the "city" but also the suburban type feel which is now being lost.

in reply to Tim Rupar's comment

C Jul 10 2025 at 11:30PM on page 15

Concern

In the past few years, this area has been overly developed with new construction, multi-family units that virtually all "tree-shaded" areas are gone. Also, many of the main roads are not safe for walkers due to drivers speeding and ignoring signs/lights knowing that there's a lack of CMPD presence.

Abigail Flanders Jul 10 2025 at 12:53PM on page 9

Question

I’m interested in the plans for 1730 Salome Church Rd in terms of road expansion on the property. This plan has thwarted development and the sale of this property. Why? How?

Louis Jun 27 2025 at 10:01PM on page 66

Suggestion

We need more strip malls, grocery stores, retail, shopping centers in Charlotte. Every vacant lot is being filled with apartments, houses, & townhomes but once the stores are too full what will we do?

The city cannot use all its land on housing. We need entertainment, resources, food, new shopping centers to keep everything balanced.

Let the surburb towns use their land for housing because there’s plenty of woods to develop out there. But Charlotte is running out of land with hardly no new shopping centers, grocery stores or retail. When most major cities build housing, they build a new shopping center to accommodate it. Go to Dallas-Fort Worth, Atlanta, or Phoenix. These areas are always building me shopping centers/grocery stores…retail along with new housing

Louis Jun 27 2025 at 9:54PM on page 66

Suggestion

Charlotte needs to make lighting a priority on main thoroughfares that don’t have it such as Mallard Creek Church Rd, W.WT Harris. They should add more consistent lighting on other major thoroughfares.

Put a traffic light at Hucks & Old Statesville as well as widen it.

Catherine May 28 2025 at 10:23AM on page 54

Suggestion

The mixed-use geography labels need to match labels included in the map.

Harrison Gibson May 12 2025 at 11:34AM on page 37

Support

This is perfect, you want to do as much of this as possible, physical separation of bike "roads" and car "roads".

Harrison Gibson May 12 2025 at 11:33AM on page 37

Suggestion

Flip the position of the street parking and the bike lanes. You need to protect these bike lanes from traffic, the use of street parking (which is also physically separated from the bike lane through bollards or even just planters) is the perfect way to do this and its not a drastic change change.

Harrison Gibson May 12 2025 at 11:32AM on page 36

Suggestion

If you seriously want to get people to bike around you are going to have to make them feel safe and reduce the interactions between bikers and cars. Drivers don't like bikes on the road, bikers don't like being on the road with cars. Do everyone a favor and build them physically separated from the beginning.

Harrison Gibson May 12 2025 at 11:30AM on page 30

Suggestion

A bicycle network is great, but if you're going to do fresh construction let's build it protected and ideally physically separated from the roads. No one likes mixing the two, drivers get annoyed by the cyclists who have bad etiquette and cyclists don't feel safe with cars rushing by at 35-40mph 2 feet away from you. Use bollards at the very least if not street parking and/or full grade separation like you would see prevalent somewhere like the Netherlands.

Adreonna Bennett May 1 2025 at 10:16AM on page 92

Suggestion

There needs to be a road extension on Gibbon Road. With two new developments being created, the area already has traffic when school starts and ends it will get worse.

A light at Old Statesville Rd and Pete Brown Rd, I have seen several near collisions since living here.

Michelle Humphrey Apr 29 2025 at 8:12PM on page 15

Concern

It appears that we are well on our way to meeting this goal, with townhomes and apartments being built just about anywhere you look. At what point will we know we have met the goal? It seems unwise to keep packing people in without an attendant focus on traffic management, shopping, and safe pedestrian pathways as described in Goal 1. How will the city coordinate with NC to make state-run roads more pedestrian-friendly and safe for drivers as well? Looking at you Mallard Creek Road.

Jessica Apr 29 2025 at 10:27AM on page 82

Concern

Prosperity Village got their investment. Northlake and University are getting theirs in this plan. This missing middle has been forgotten.

Jessica Apr 29 2025 at 10:23AM on page 63

Question

Where are these public play areas?

Jessica Apr 29 2025 at 10:21AM on page 52

Concern

Why does this map show the greenway extensions as existing and then removes the existing Clarks Creek Greenway. There is no way this area (C5) aligns with aspirations. The only open spaces in this area are private property owned by various HOAs.

Jessica Apr 29 2025 at 10:16AM on page 40

Question

Any movement on these greenway extensions? We've heard about them for 10+ years.

Jessica Apr 29 2025 at 10:15AM on page 41

Concern

We need continuous sidewalks on Sugar Creek from Harris to Hucks Road -- not just the sidewalks mandated when lots are redeveloped. It is incredibly dangerous to have cars going 45mph minimum on roads with no shoulders trying to navigate around pedestrians.

William Apr 28 2025 at 12:23PM on page 95

this is a freight rail vehicle.

Johanna Apr 28 2025 at 12:00PM on page 52

Concern

I've been in Prosperity Village area for 5 years. We badly need 1) a public kid's playground, 2) connecting sidewalks down DeArmon Road and a designated, between neighborhoods crosswalk, 3) expanded capacity for the 485 freeway entrance. It backs up badly rush hour so it can take 15 minutes to get the 1/2 mile onto the freeway. All these (luxury, rent-only) town homes have gone up, but there's not been roads or libraries or the services I would expect to see.

Krystal Harwick Apr 25 2025 at 12:44PM on page 95

Suggestion

lane striping missing to show vehicle/bike lanes

Krystal Harwick Apr 25 2025 at 12:42PM on page 95

Suggestion

this is a blue line light rail vehicle, this will be the red line commuter rail (see locomotives or multiple unit tainsets)

Krystal Harwick Apr 25 2025 at 11:23AM on page 94

Suggestion

Red Line Derita Station

Krystal Harwick Apr 25 2025 at 11:21AM on page 92

Red Line Derita Station is here.

Krystal Harwick Apr 25 2025 at 11:11AM on page 42

Jennifer Apr 25 2025 at 10:33AM on page 83

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.

Laura Bandara Apr 24 2025 at 1:43PM on page 93

Denise Perez Apr 21 2025 at 4:19PM on page 52

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.
