Center City

​​​Center City​

A large part of the Updated 2030 System Plan is determining how all of the corridors come together in Uptown. CATS held numerous Center City Charlettes with the goal of better understanding the tradeoffs between options, and identify ways to improve all remaining options. The Center City Integration Study determines how best to integrate three corridors into downtown with LYNX Blue Line, CityLYNX Gold Line, and Charlotte Gateway District.

  • It heads towards the Charlotte Gateway District before connecting to Wilkinson Blvd​
