CHARLOTTE, N.C. (WBTV) - Sidewalks are an essential part of government services and a major aspect of Charlotte’s plans to keep pedestrians safe.
But a WBTV Investigation finds that proposed sidewalks stay on the waiting list for decades and that the rankings for those projects are updated so infrequently they often don’t reflect the changing landscape of communities.
Residents near Kuykendall Road in South Charlotte recently learned about some of the deficiencies with the Charlotte Department of Transportation’s selection process when they started advocating for a sidewalk on the increasingly busy street.
