Charlotte’s biggest transit opportunity has been hiding in plain sight
A secret train line that runs from Matthews, through Uptown, to the airport, and out to Belmont
We can use it to build the entire Silver Line, while saving the city $100s of millions
Here’s the route ⬇️🧵
Nice idea here: Charlotte agency @YellowDuckMktg is offering a $20,000 grant for marketing, public relations, social media, influencer strategy to applicants from Western North Carolina and other areas hurt by Hurricane Helene. Deadline is Friday. https://t.co/4PEVDsSbZw
🚨Heartbreaking first look at the Blue Ridge Parkway from the air.
This is normally PEAK leaf-viewing season in the Fall and the Parkway is unrecognizable.
Zero leaves. Up to 80% tree loss in some areas. Mudslides. Roads washed out.
Cannot believe it.
I tried calling transfer office to transfer in mid year last year and no one ever called me back so we had to stick out the year in a bad fit school. Now transportation folks also are not returning calls. Are they that understaffed?
@CharMeckSchools desperately needs help w/ staffing to process transportation requests (I have been waiting for weeks to be added to route), & communication (after applying I never heard from CMS until 2 wks before school & never ever heard we had to apply for bus.)😕
Revolve is always looking for more land! Hopefully land and construction prices along with text amendment changes to the UDO will help make magic happen again. Thanks for the 💙
@CBJnewsroom Yesterday it took 2 hours to get through Customs! We have got to figure out Customs and baggage handling. All other parts of @CLTAirport are working great so we are just missing those 2 pieces to make us a top airport.
@enkisfishcraft @JoeBrunoWSOC9 … and another elderly driver crashed me into one of the giant oaks on Selwyn and totaled my car. I am a huge proponent of instituting driving tests every few years after the age of 75 or 80.
@enkisfishcraft @JoeBrunoWSOC9 When I was 12, I was on a bike and an elderly woman driving the wrong way on a one-way hit the gas instead of the brakes and mangled my bike. Thankfully, I was OK but it took me a good 10 years to get back on a bike. Fast forward 20 years….
@CareDotCom Your messaging having tech issues and I can't send messages - Can you please post when it is working again? Or does it not allow links to outside websites (e.g. Dropbox)?
@avpietrafesa@CLTdevelopment@CLTCenterCity That's funny! Yes that graphic is easier to pull off with ice skates. It seems cheaper/easier to implement than an ice rink and more year-round.
