Field trip
Posted by AG under: Community; Downtown; Economic development .
Two busloads of Greensboro and Guilford County folks visited Charlotte Tuesday. The mission of this Action Greensboro field trip: to learn how Charlotte has leveraged public-private partnerships to make the sensational improvements downtown.
First stop: LYNX, the brand spanking new light-rail line. Charlotte Mayor Pat McCrory, who has deep Guilford County roots, was on hand to welcome the crowd. Below: McCrory chats with Greensboro Mayor Yvonne Johnson at a park-and-ride station.
The most impressive thing about Charlotte’s first light-rail installation: ridership is running 67 percent ahead of projections. More cars have been ordered.
Greensboro visitors filled an entire LYNX car.
Arriving in uptown (downtown) Charlotte.
