Projects

​This project originated from the Northeast Corridor Infrastructure (NECI) program planning effort. It is being combined with Charlotte Water's Hidden Valley Water System Improvements Project and will be constructed via a design-build contract. Combining the two projects ensures both locations are only affected once by construction, minimizing disruption to property and business owners and to residents who travel through the area.

The project proposed to provide streetscape improvements from Canterwood Drive to North Tryon Street. The conceptual cross-section includes two travel lanes, a center turning lane, sidewalk, a planting strip and street trees.

• To improve access to North Tryon Street and the ​Tom Hunter Road light rail station
  

• To provide wider sidewalks, pedestrian refuge, bike lanes and beautification with wider planting strips, decorative lighting and street trees.
  

• To improve all modes of tran​sportation: pedestrian, bicycle, vehicular and mass transit
  

• To improve access to the Hidden Valley neighborhood
  

• To provide infrastructure that supports and encourages economic development​
