The Silver Line was the prized possession of Charlotte s multi-billion-dollar mobility plan. Now, city staff are putting the Red Line as a top priority as they look to gain support from towns in north Mecklenburg County.
On Monday, Assistant City Manager Taiwo Jaiyeoba said the Red Line was headed in a positive direction.
The 25-mile rail-line would stretch from uptown, through Huntersville, to Cornelius and Davidson. It s been talked about for years, but it s never come to fruition.
The key to the Red Line project is using the railroads owned and operated by Norfolk Southern. The biggest factor that s led to broken promises for the northern towns is Norfolk Southern not sharing its tracks.
