As Monica explains on this month's episode of Building Better Communities with Transit, the city decided to create new TOD zones that would better reflect the needs and context of different stations. In April of this year, Charlotte adopted updated TOD zoning and it couldn't have come at a better time. Development is picking up along the Blue line extension that opened last year and connects downtown Charlotte to the main campus of the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. And planning for a new east-west light rail line is in the early stages.
