Thanks for this thread - great stuff! The city and county should be spending so much more $ and time to connect all of this. We have so many great pieces in place, but without true connectivity that lets people ride their bike to work or take their kids to a game uptown on a truly protected path, these will remain underutilized. Once connected, the trail network will be amazing for the health, traffic, enjoyment, and brand of Charlotte. I just don’t see any real urgency. For example, it’s going to take 2 years just to update one busy section along Kings Road that connects Freedom Park and Uptown. It only took 2 years to build the Eiffel Tower.
