Big plans afoot around U-City light rail

 

 

A few weeks ago, I wrote about Carolina States Regional Center’s plans for a 37-acre mixed use development with about 1,000 apartment units around the Lynx Blue Rail extension. Now, a separate group is marketing 60 wooded acres across Tryon Street as another potential major mixed-use site, with retail, apartments, offices and a hotel.

 

The development would be across Tryon Street from the University City Boulevard light rail station and parking garage. The land  is owned by brothers David and Tim McKinney.

Charlotte, NC Observer, 5/20/16:

Can light rail turn University City into a walkable downtown?


When you think of University City, “walkable, pedestrian-friendly downtown” might not be the first thing that comes to mind.

But local property owners and economic development boosters want to change that. They plan to use the rapidly approaching Blue Line light rail extension to spur a round of redevelopment that’s easier on walkers and bicyclists and less car-dependent.
