PROJECT OVERVIEW
This project will extend the Cross Charlotte Trail main alignment from East Craighead Road to North Tryon Street, with additional connectors to the surrounding area. This segment is currently under study to determine a recommended alignment and trail dimensions, as well as recommended amenities. While this segment is not yet funded for construction, cost estimates will be developed at the end of planning phase.
PROJECT GOALS
The goals for this segment of the trail are the following:
Comfortable - Separated from streets and traffic as much as possible within project budget and other constraints
Accessible and bicycle-friendly - Hard surface suitable for bikes and wheelchairs, smooth turns and limited slopes to meet ADA requirements
Enjoyable - Amenities to enhance enjoyment and safety, such as signage, benches, trashcans, landscaping, aesthetic treatments and public art
Expandable - Provide opportunities for additional connections and amenities in the future
PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT
The project team will engage nearby residents, businesses and other stakeholders in numerous ways throughout the planning process. Engagement opportunities may include charrettes, walking tours and public meetings. Details will be shared with residents and businesses once they are determined, and they will be posted on this page and on the
Citywide Events Calendar.
