  1. The interesting thing is the pole on trade by tryon has two device box and double cylinder on top. Probably means two carrier shared same pole for this strategic location. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  2. I have seen many pretty new white or black cylinder on top street light or electric poles. With a new metallic box attached lower. I have see one between one bac and boa corporate center get installed this week. I believe these are 5G base station. Given their size, shape and density (Within one thousand feet of each other, but probably three carrier),these are the mmWave ones. Pay attention to poles in Charlotte, there might be surprise.

  3. what's the name of the chemical factory on South Blvd between Woodlawn and Tyvola. Can not find anything on google map. Very curious every time I drive by.
  4. Finally some wooden floor on trade st railbridge. Almost no work east of it. The bridge for 4th st begin construction. Some tanker on old greyhound parking lot. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  5. track finished across Polar st. Not much progress in the summer. Track grading front on tryon st. Not the utility work this time I guess. Trade open to cars north of graham st, but almost nobody is using them. People are so used to the new normal. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  6. More and more people get off at Stonewall station in morning rush hour. Should be related to BOAT.
  7. Tried eight +sand today. Great place for brunch. Should attract more people to southern part of south end. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  8. I saw those california search and rescue people under westins Thursday. Thought they supposed to relate to the hurricane. But maybe the damage isn't big enough that local first responders can handle it so they just stay in Charlotte?

  10. Looks like i77 express lane south of I-85 unlikely can be finished this month.
  11. This week I noticed the 8:43train from new bern to ctc is much more crowded. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  12. Rail trail is also a way to boost ridership. Walking on rail trail to a Lynx station is much easier than walking along regular city street.

  16. And a question. How can I find Blue line ridership for May and June?
  17. Some quote for concord Airport in the pdf The airport's preparing to undertake a study to look at expanding. And, likely, when that all settles out in the next few years probably looking at 10 to 12 terminal public air service and going from 50 flights a week to potentially 50 flights a day. We're looking at a massive change over and above the impact that we already have in Concord Mills for. If concord airport can do 50 flights per day. I would say extending BLE to that airport is much better than the old factory.

  19. https://www.railwayage.com/passenger/fra-announces-more-than-272mm-in-grants-for-rail-projects/ North Carolina – Piedmont Intercity Fleet and Infrastructure Investments Project Up to $76,888,000 North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) The proposed project involves the acquisition of 13 new passenger coaches for use in the Piedmont service and an expansion of the Charlotte Locomotive and Railcar Maintenance Facility (LRMF). The coaches will replace the 1950s and ’60s-era coaches currently in use and expand overall fleet capacity. With the new coaches, Piedmont service can increase to four daily frequencies from Charlotte to Raleigh to meet growing passenger demand. Aligning with NCDOT’s equipment overhaul and state-of-good-repair program to improve parts standardization on older cars and reduce stress on inventory of irreplaceable spare parts, the project will result in tangible and measurable improved service reliability and resilience. The selected project would expand the LRMF to include additional storage tracks and interior spaces for inspection, maintenance, and repair and storage of spare parts and supplies. can we hope for Brightline style coaches?
