Project Overview

In partnership with the West Boulevard Neighborhood Coalition, the City of Charlotte led a study that served as a first step in providing a vision for the West Boulevard corridor with a focus on the intersections of Remount Road, Clanton Road and Old Steele Creek Road. The West Boulevard and Remount Road intersection project was selected from this study and was recommended in the West Boulevard Playbook. 
The strategy for Remount Road is to create an enhanced neighborhood node with a safe, walkable pedestrian environment by focusing dense development along the West Boulevard corridor and orienting retail entrances and public space toward the intersection. 

 

The project proposes to install a decorative plaza, multiuse path, transportation bus shelters, pedestrian lighting, landscaping, crosswalks, wheelchair ramps, pedestrian signals and site furnishings. Through placemaking, the history and culture of the corridor will be reflected in the project’s improvements.

Project Goals

  • To improve pedestrian mobility and safety
  • To incorporate the history and culture of the corridor in the infrastructure investment
