Charlotte, NC Observer, 11/27/15:
Light-rail delays cost an extra $950,000
Problems with a contractor will force the Charlotte Area Transit System to spend an additional $950,000 to upgrade capacity on the light-rail line.
In April 2014, the City Council awarded a $16.5 million contract with Balfour Beatty Infrastructure, mostly to expand four Lynx Blue Line stations so they can handle three-car trains instead of the standard two-car trains.
