Well, well — looks like the streetcar-for-votes swap is complete. The Black Political Caucus of Charlotte-Mecklenburg has jumped into the pro-tax camp — and oh, the 2018 Beatties Ford streetcar will be moved up to 2013.
Great to see that our transportation plans are being made based on sound, transportation-related principles.
East Charlotte — you are on the clock. See what you can get before the election. This time don’t settle for $20 million worth of right-of-way. Think big. Maybe a streetcar to Eastland Mall and light rail down Independence.
Lord knows money is no object.
Bonus Observation: Dwayne Collins better have all the promises city officials made to him in writing.
