Center City Transportation Plan
Center City:
A Destination of Choices

Center City Charlotte. It's where you live, work, eat, shop and play. Choices are boundless. You can live in a quiet neighborhood or a bustling high-rise. You can watch a basketball game or an opera.

Read the plan or just scan the policies on the bottom of this page. The recent products of the plan include:
  • The Uptown Pedestrian and Vehicular Wayfinding System
  • The I-277/Caldwell Street/South Boulevard Interchange
  • The conversion of South Brevard and South Caldwell Streets to two-way operations
  • The installation of pedestrian and bicycle improvements on the South Tryon Street bridge over I-277
Uptown Charlotte streetscape

Once you arrive uptown, virtually everyone becomes a pedestrian.

  • Johnson & Wales Way- Reconfigure to remove high-speed transitions
  • South Tryon Street- Conversion from four lanes to three lanes with bike lanes and wider sidewalks between Stonewall Street and Carson Boulevard
  • South Mint Street- Conversion (Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard to Trade Street) as well as Poplar Street (Third Street to Sixth Street) to two-way upon opening of Romare Bearden Park.
  • I-277 underpass and overpass improvements
