You must have missed the $54 million dollar football stadium Davidson just build.

As a Winston dweller for most of my life the connection to Charlotte via Mocksville would be an awesome addition to intercity transit in NC. I've always thought it made sense on the underutilized L/O Lines since there is a pretty decent urban population center in Winston Salem with a good city owned station alread in place. Can't wait to see what they do with this!

It seems like in prior masterplans they had a hotel in that location. That would be an excellent addition for the airport.

Norfolk Southern is becoming more intrested in selling the State/Charlotte the O Line that comes through Winston. This is good news for a Winston Salem connection to Greensboro and Charlotte via rail. https://www.wbtv.com/2023/10/18/norfolk-southern-considers-selling-rail-line-city-charlotte/

It's interesting to me that brightline seems to have ruled out Jacksonville even though their parent company owns the right of way. Charlotte to Atlanta would be excellent, Something I would definitley consider using a couple of times a year.

How up to date is this map? Looks like they're still planning on expanding B and C as well as building an island terminal.

Would love to see the Panthers stay at BOA and continue to renovate the facility. Its a solid stadium and in a great location, plus Tepper should not be given a dime of public money.

Taller than the Museum tower? That's pretty cool. This thing is really going to make a difforence visually.

Looks great, love to see the university advertising in the city it belongs too!

Charlotte is finishing up construction on their newest dorm in south village. I love that they are finally building a modern tradional style student housing. Its more inexpensive for students and provides the best social setting in my personal opinion. https://inside.charlotte.edu/news-features/2021-12-10/construction-update-phase-16-residence-hall

Makes sense, I know Winston used imminent domain a while back to aquire the old train station for future use. Norkfolk Southern really sucks with that line and using it as some kind of bargaining chip.

I'm no rail guy but it seems like it would be benficial to run the Asheville route from Greensboro through Winston and Statesville to pick up more travelers ?

I'm probably in minority but I like the way they have the silver line routed going around uptown. The best mass transit systems have circulators and connectivity. This option provides half of a circulator and connectivity to the gold, blue, and gateway station. This route seems to be the best future option beyond drilling under the city which we all know they can't afford.

I think the silver line will happen, Charlotte may be slow but it has never stopped a rail mass tranist project that needs to happen. NS is the problem with the Red Line, I think the silver will pass easily once they get the route nailed down.
