North-South Connector Study Update
Senior Planner Travis Johnson and Lake Norman Regional Transportation Commission Executive Director Bill Thunberg
Summary: The Urban Land Institute (ULI), in a 2010 Lake Norman Region transportation and land use study identified North-South connectivity East of NC 115 as a critical need. In response, local jurisdictions, including Huntersville, Davidson, and Mooresville/Iredell County added segments of a potential North-South Parkway to the MPO's Thoroughfare Plan. Huntersville and Davidson included preferred cross-sections in adopted planning documents but there was no comprehensive effort undertaken to link these efforts together in a cohesive manner. 

The North – South Parkway Sub Area Study is funded from the Charlotte Regional Transportation Planning Organization’s Unified Planning Work Program (UPWP).
