This project will evaluate Matheson Avenue, from Jordan Place to Virginia Avenue, for a street conversion. The proposed improvements will include removing one through-lane in each direction and reallocating the space for a two-way, left-turn lane and buffered bike lanes. The improvements will also include installing pedestrian crossings and a new traffic signal at the intersection of Matheson Avenue and Clemson Avenue.
The Matheson Avenue Bridge Streetscape project, part of the Applied Innovation Corridor, is adjacent to this one and will provide streetscape improvements along Matheson Avenue between North Tryon Street and Jordan Place.
Project Goals
To provide an east-west bicycle connect from the Shamrock Drive Complete Street project to the Cross Charlotte Trail at Jordan Place
To reduce Matheson Avenue's effect as a barrier to north-south pedestrian movement, providing additional crossing opportunities along the corridor
To improve safety by calming traffic and reducing vehicle speeds along the corridor
Residents and business owners will have an opportunity to provide input during planned public meetings. the project team will also provide updates periodically through postcards and the website.
