Corridors of Opportunity: Beatties Ford Road/Rozzelles Ferry Road

Program Overview

This program includes a broad range of investments to include bicycle connectivity, sidewalks, planting strips, pedestrian crosswalks and intersection improvements. 

Public Involvement

With direction from Charlotte City Council, project teams seek input from the community in order to build better projects and provide better services. Often, this input comes from the public involvement process used when building capital projects. Neighborhood public meetings are conducted by project teams and consultants in order to solicit ideas from nearby businesses and residents affected by the project and identify their concerns. Upcoming meetings will be posted on the project web page, and affected residents will receive a postcard in the mail. So far, the project team has hosted the following public meetings:
