But on Monday, Charlotte’s planning director told City Council that number isn’t quite right. In fact, it’s significantly higher.
“I asked staff to take a look at that for me,” said Taiwo Jaiyeoba, during the monthly zoning meeting. “It’s actually closer to 60 residents, compared to 44 a couple years ago.”
Jaiyeoba didn’t detail his methodology. The latest population estimate from the U.S. Census Bureau for Charlotte only goes up to 2016, but the county estimates for 2017 roughly square with Jaiyeoba’s figure. Mecklenburg County’s population increased by 19,600 residents, hitting almost 1.08 million. That’s an average of about 54 new residents a day.
Nice, I really think Raleigh is finally on the cusp of becoming an "urban" city with apartment towers, etc...much like what happened in Austin. Calm down Atowwn.

Such a vast, vast, vast improvement from funneling most routes uptown. Very inefficient. It’s great how much they already rerouted busses away from uptown and through light rail.
Also looks like the SouthPark mall bus hub is gaining a few more routes. I always liked the SouthPark hub. IMO, once the Silver line is complete, I think for the most part, the vast majority of bus routes should begin and terminate at a light rail station.
Couple skyline pictures I took tonight. Our new 4th tallest should tower above the buildings in the 3rd shot. You can see the edge of the new tower barely between them
