This vision of pedestrian-oriented medium density development that would be a five minute bike ride from my house is one of the most exciting things I can recall ever seeing in a planning document. The Riverbend Village development has been a huge boon to the area and I regularly walk, bike, and drive to it. Imagining the development as a multi-modal destination with much denser services is brilliant.
Suggestion
Outer West is in desperate need of better connectivity for bikes. A good example is the area around Brookshire/Mt Holly Huntersville. Excellent sidewalk and arterial crossing infrastructure is underutilized in part because the local sidewalk network does not connect to many nearby neighborhoods. Until Mt Holly-Huntersville and Bellhaven/Rozelles Ferry have sidewalks to connect to the under construction greenway at Oakdale and planned expansion to Shuffletown Park, residents will be forced to drive to reach major commercial clusters like the Northlake mall area or the broader greenway network.
More connection and greenways are needed on outer west. Why not connect Iswa with 0S7?
There should be greenway along the Catawba River south and north of Wilkinson
Can there be a different photo used?
The draft plan, as presented, appears to incorporate little—if any—meaningful community feedback. Much of the content simply repackages existing community data and translates the 2040 Comprehensive Plan into more localized terms, without reflecting the unique input or priorities expressed by stakeholders.

Furthermore, the proposed timeline raises serious concerns. With the public comment period set to close on May 9th and Council action expected just weeks later on May 27th, there is insufficient time to adequately review public input, assess its implications, and make any necessary revisions to the plan. This expedited schedule gives the impression that public engagement is more procedural than purposeful.
Why are we planning the re-development of a site that was built within the last 5-6 years?
This image 2+ years old.
This area is shown as Manufacturing & Logistics on Map 14.
How will these aspirations be achieved? 15% green area is typically required.
Street right-of-ways are considered open space?
How is this aligned? Because there is a bus stop? There's minimal sidewalk along Mt Holly Road and no place to cross.
Bellhaven*
As noted earlier, this area is anticipated to see 8% of the city's overall residential growth, but only 2% of the city's total job growth by 2040. How does keeping the Policy Map in line with existing land uses help create a complete community?
Owned by the City of Charlotte? or Charlotte Douglas Airport?
What does the range represent? The objective of this data point isn't clear. If we're reviewing the area as a whole, why is there not a central median? If you're providing this type of data, you should also provide mapping support to show where the various "median" ranges are located in each area plan location.
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.
Suggestion
General comments for West Outer:
The intersection at Brookshire Blvd and Mt Holly-Huntersville is NOT better with the recent re-design and should be considered for improvement in this plan.
Any intersection improvements within the plan should include smart traffic light timing.
Hopefully the latest technologies will be used for the entire plan with data collected over a year, at minimum.
Concern
Are the proposed structures near the Harris Teeter parking garages? This parking lot is PACKED at any given time serving HT and the rear facing businesses. Plans should also include relocation of popular restaurants being displaced, remaining within RB Village.
Suggestion
I suggest we add an access point to the Long Creek Greenway here- This would allow people to access the greenway safely plus have pedestrian and bicycle access to the grocery store.
