Meanwhile in Atlanta, NIMBYs are trying to block the implementation of LRT in the Atlanta Beltline.

I'm glad they decided to build the light rail rather then just building a rail to trail. Too many of these rail to trails ruin potential transit opportunities
@pproteinc7 күн бұрын
Only if they continue to rapidly expand out light trail facility to all 6 corners of the city. The state hates our city and refuses to allow Charlotte to do so. The Silver Lone would’ve been a game changer and the most beneficial yet. The red line is great but I’d prefer it light rail over commuter rail. I’ve had some either idea for additional lines as well all come back to the gateway station.

Too bad Atlanta can't get its act together on the Beltline. You know what? Atlanta hasn't got its act together on public transportation since mid last century. We just choke on our roads with more lanes and more lanes.

Wow, impressive: that looks like a real first world city, not the shitty car dependent and polluted sprawls we have in many places

Don't be fooled, Charlotte is a very car dependent, sprawling city outside of this one light rain line. Hopefully they continue to expand this throughout the city

Sensational! Keep up the excellent work, Charlotte! A public transport fan, I am watching from the Netherlands.

2:08 that bought a tear to my eye. It's amazing how government investment in transit can lead to something as empowering as a coffee store that employs people with disabilities.

I have a seizure disorder and can't drive. It made me happy to know that someone actually thought about accommodating people with disabilities. It seems like no one really cares or even bothers to think about the fact that some people actually can't drive.

Great job! Both the story and the concept. More cities need to adopt a light-rail/car-free approach to transit oriented development and city planning in general. Cars have their place... On highways between cities in the country. In town? There are infinitely better options available... It's just about using the right tool for the right job. Aside from small urban electrics, fossil fueled behemoths like modern SUV's should be discouraged at all costs...

Transit-oriented development makes life so much easier. Just ask us up here in the Northeast. What a great story.

I love to see American cities building new transit and seemingly rediscovering the vitality of transit-oriented development. This light-rail/pedestrian corridor looks beautiful!
