Residents will have an opportunity this month to weigh in on the plan to pay for the LYNX Blue Line extension project, which will cost the county more than $250 million.
If every step of the process goes as planned, the Lynx Blue Line extension to the UNC-Charlotte could operate as early as 2017. Five years might seem a long ways off, but some property owners and property managers already see dollar signs.
South End – Charlotte’s first designated transit-oriented district – is at a crossroads. Will it maintain its burgeoning urban environment, or will encroaching suburban development turn it into another bedroom community for uptown?
The site where Proffitt Dixon Partners is developing a $26.2 million luxury apartment community sits near the Lynx Blue Line light-rail route, and the company is taking advantage of that. Plans for the Fountains at New Bern Station include a light-rail lobby that will be built about 50 feet from the New Bern Blue Line station.
