Center City Corridor (LYNX)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Center City Corridor is a proposed streetcar line, to be completed in 2018, which would serve as an extension to Charlotte, North Carolina's LYNX transportation network. It would connect the University Park area of west Charlotte with Eastland Mall in east Charlotte via Uptown Charlotte.[1]

It is proposed to follow a primarily east-west path along Beatties Ford Road, Trade Street and Central Avenue, through central Charlotte. Currently, it is estimated to be 9.9 miles (15.9 km) with 34 stops and be complete between Rosa Parks Place and Presbyterian Hospital by 2018 at a cost of $211 million. The second phase between Presbyterian Hospital and Eastland is scheduled for completion by 2023 at a cost of $231 million.[1]
