The purpose of the CMPD Animal Care and Control, Phase 3 Expansion project is primarily to provide additional kennels for dogs and reduce the increasing rate of euthanasia. Secondly, to provide additional space for other animals and improve the efficiencies of operations for the facility. The expansion of the facility will possibly be located at 2700 Toomey Avenue and the parcel is currently 4.67 acres. This is the old location for the Animal Humane Society. We are currently in the advanced planning phase to acquire a schematic design to confirm the estimated construction cost.
The Construction delivery system will be Progressive Design Build. It is also anticipated that the city will acquire an Owner’s Advisor to assist with procurement and additional services during design and construction.
Charlotte Fire Department plans to build a mass timber all-electric infill 2-story, 3-bay firehouse to manage response volumes in the newly developed River District.

The project area includes the intersection area and approaches for Ashley Road/Tuckaseegee Road (State Road 1662), and Freedom Drive (NC Highway 27). Currently, the area lacks adequate pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure, limiting safe mobility and access to key destinations such as the Mecklenburg County Valerie C. Woodard Community Resource Center.
The Matheson to Craighead segment of the Cross Charlotte Trail will implement a 14-foot shared use path beginning at E 36th Street.

The structure will then connect to the existing trail built by Brand Properties within the Kaleido Noda apartment complex.
A construction contract to repairs roadways and their appurtenances related to water and sewer infrastructure. In addition, minor work could be related to other existing water sewer infrastructure. The scope will also include some concrete and asphalt work within Charlotte Water.
