Charlotte Streets Map

The Charlotte Streets Map is a citywide mobility policy map that categorizes Charlotte's arterial street network into defined street types that reflect our multimodal vision for our streets. Each street type guides public and private investment to plan for and protect envisioned future streets that accommodate our multimodal needs (pedestrian, bike, transit, and car). The Streets Map for the Blue Line TOD station areas was adopted in 2018 along with the TOD zoning ordinance. The Citywide Streets Map was adopted alongside the Unified Development Ordinance and will replace the Blue Line Streets Map once the Unified Development Ordinance becomes effective in June 2023.
