Charlotte, NC Observer, 7/3/18:

 

 

 

 

         Charlotte's streetcar construction is going to make driving uptown more challenging
 

 

Gold Line streetcar construction will close a major uptown street, sending drivers on detours.

 

 

Details

 

Trade Street is the main east-west drag through Uptown Charlotte.  But this project will be well worth it, especially when thought of in tandem with the new transportation center that will be built adjacent to the NS tracks near where they go over Trade Street.  One will be able to use the CityLynx Gold Line between there and other points in Charlotte, including when arriving or departing the city on Amtrak (likely with the exception of the Crescent which stops overnight).
