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

Public Involvement

Public meetings took place in the fall of 2021 and Feb. 2023 to engage the public and get their feedback on this project. Another meeting took place in Feb. 2024 at the West Boulevard Library to meet the selected artists.

NOTE: Meeting summaries and slide decks are available by request to the contacts listed on this page.
