Charlotte, NC Observer, 2/17/17:
New plan would add rail to airport, Lake Norman, Matthews – at once
Charlotte transit officials are considering an ambitious plan to extend light rail to the airport, Matthews and Iredell County – and virtually all at once.
That plan, which could cost as much as $6 billion, includes a new light rail corridor through northern towns, abandoning a long-planned “Red Line” commuter rail along existing tracks.
