CATS Breaks Ground for CityLYNX Gold Line Phase 2
Dignitaries in Charlotte, NC, joined by then-DOT Secretary and former Charlotte Mayor Anthony Foxx, gathered Jan. 14 for ground-breaking ceremonies for the Charlotte Area Transit System’s (CATS) CityLYNX Gold Line Phase 2 modern streetcar project.
The $150 million extension will add two miles to the west side of the existing 1.5-mile route, beginning at the Charlotte Transportation Center and serving historic neighborhoods, and one-half mile on the east side, along with 11 new stops.
CATS also will replace the existing vehicles with six S70 Siemens modern streetcars with hybrid technology.
CATS Chief Executive Officer John Lewis called Phase 2 construction “a monumental step in building out our overall transit system” that will “strengthen transportation choices for the Charlotte region.”
The first phase of the CityLYNX Gold Line entered service in 2015 and surpassed ridership projections from the outset.
