The Silver Line is a planned BRT (though light rail is possible) extension for the LYNX network in Charlotte, North Carolina. The Silver Line, or Southeast Corridor, would serve as a BRT (though light rail may be a small possibility) line between the CPCC Levine Campus in Matthews and the proposed Gateway Station in Uptown Charlotte.[1]
It is proposed to follow a southeasterly path primarily along Independence Boulevard, as it extends through southeastern Mecklenburg County. Currently, it is estimated to be 13.5 miles (21.7 km) and be complete through Idlewild Road by 2022, to Sardis Road North by 2024 and finally to CPCC Levine by 2026. Additionally, the line would contain 3,350 parking spaces and 16 stations along the corridor at a cost of $582 million.[1]
