Charlotte Gateway Station Environmental Assessment
Request for Comments on the Charlotte
Gateway Station Environmental Assessment;
The Charlotte Area Transit System (CATS),
in partnership with the North Carolina Department of
Transportation (NCDOT), plans to develop the Charlotte Gateway
Station (CGS) project, a multimodal facility in downtown
Charlotte on the block bordered by 4th, Graham and
Trade Streets and the Norfolk Southern railroad tracks. CGS
will provide access to CATS buses, CATS commuter rail to
Mooresville, the Charlotte streetcar, Amtrak trains to Atlanta
and Raleigh, and Greyhound intercity buses. It will also be a
major downtown mixed-use development, offering new residential,
retail and office uses on the CGS site and on adjacent property
owned by NCDOT.
Because Congress has authorized Federal
funding for CGS through the Federal Transit Administration (FTA),
a Federal environmental review is required pursuant to the
National Environmental Policy Act. CATS has prepared the draft
Charlotte Gateway Station Environmental Assessment (EA) for
public review and comment. FTA, CATS and NCDOT request your
written comments regarding the proposed project and the findings
included in the EA. Comments will be addressed in the final
version of the EA approved by the FTA.
