Your commute just got wilder on the Blue Line.
Alright so check it — you know how we always talk about Charlotte trying to be this big, world-class city, right? And we build all these shiny new apartment buildings in South End that all look the same, man, like they just copy-pasted 'em. But then we got issues, real issues, like figuring out how to get folks around without sitting on I-77 for an hour just to go five miles. So, when I hear that CATS is starting construction on *another* new South End light rail station? Man, you gotta pause and think.
Real talk, the Blue Line changed South End forever. It went from warehouses and industrial spots to breweries and those five-story walk-ups everywhere you look. It's a whole vibe now, for better or worse. But another station? Are we actually improving the system for the people who *need* it, or are we just adding more stops to funnel more folks into already congested spots, man? We got parts of town that still don't have sidewalks, let alone reliable public transit. It just makes you wonder, you know? What's the endgame here? Queen City on the wire — morning's looking right.
The morning crew is absolutely gonna have thoughts on this one — tune in live at mornings.live.
