Local Issue That Needs More Attention
Traffic congestion
Staff Pick
It’s forecasted that by 2020, nearly a million more people will move to this region. Some of them will locate inside the county and some in the surrounding counties. Then, every weekday morning, many of them will get into their cars and attempt to drive to their jobs in Charlotte (or surrounding Mecklenburg County burgs) on our already clogged roads. That means the Charlotte area could be headed for traffic worse than Atlanta’s if we don’t find solutions quickly.
