Can't wait until this tower is lit up at night 

Anyone have an idea of when the exterior lighting will be up and running?

Wait...... 

Per that press release, this thing is going to have 20 minute headways???? LOL. Is this some joke or is it just temporary? If you just missed the train, you could drive to Amelie's in Villa Heights, grab a brownie, drive back... and still catch the next train.

Plaza Midwood residents already have bus routes connecting to Uptown with frequency every 10 - 15 minutes. Wesley Heights and Johnson C Smith have many bus routes with 15 minute frequency as well. Instead people going to be sitting there watching buses cruise by just to sit on a train that is 3 miles long? Must be nice to have so much free time. 

Isn’t that just temporary? The blue line is still on that schedule also, I assumed they would both go back to the old 2 per 15 min schedule when more people start going back to the office (aka soon).

Today 9:15 a.m.  -  climbing skyward  - 660 ft. / 201 m. (40 floors)

 

^^^I was thinking it was down to ~610 feet, did they bring it back up to 660?!?

Can someone remind me what the height of this will be? It was revised down from 660, right?

Long time lurker here... anyone know how many more upgrades are in the works in the short term for the Raleigh to Charlotte rail corridor (grade separations, double tracking, etc.)? Seems like a lot of the major projects in the Triangle area are mostly done now. I know there are long term plans for the SEHSR project, but is it anticipated that the travel time by train from Raleigh to Charlotte will have been reduced significantly by the time gateway station is open? I’ve looked for info on this but everything I’ve found is really out of date.
