  7. Then silver line does not need to go to Matthews or put Union and Gaston county into consideration if the destination does not have much office space. It could end at airport at west and Idlewild road or Margaret Wallace Road at south east.
  8. Given how bad the office side of CRE is currently. I guess the reason for silver line to skip center uptown could be a problem now. (Not much office development for some time) But giving how long we need to wait for Silver line. Maybe the trend will be different by then.
