Firehouse 44 will be an integral asset to support Charlotte Fire Department’s efficient response to emergencies in the community; providing a location within the newly developed River District community and expanding their response area in this newly incorporated region of Charlotte. This 14,600 SF, two-story, 3-bay facility will be the first mass timber firehouse in the Southeast US and will meet Living Future’s (LF) Zero Carbon certification for total project embodied carbon. The project will comply with Charlotte’s Sustainable Facilities Policy and fully support the sophisticated and time-sensitive operations of the Fire Department.

The project consists of intersection improvements at Remount Rd and West Blvd including sidewalks, curb and gutter, decorative concrete surface treatments, bus shelters with amenities, pedestrian-scale lighting, crosswalks, curb ramps, pedestrian crossing signalization, and landscaping.

This contract provides traffic control and logistical support services for events hosted at the Spectrum Center Arena.

Belk Greenway Connector is a cycle track project. This project will involve shifting the medians on McDowell St to make room for the cycle track, replacing noncompliant curb ramps, replacing noncompliant pedestrian signals, transferring signal heads to new mast arms, mill & overlay, pavement markings, sign installation, and the removal of 4 median trees.

The DeArmon Road Improvements Project is part of the City of Charlotte’s Prosperity Village Comprehensive Neighborhood Improvement Program.  The project will complete the infrastructure needs in the neighborhood by providing buffered bicycle lanes, median/turning lane, storm drainage, curb & gutter, sidewalk and a greenway passage beneath DeArmon Road for the future extension of Clark’s Creek Greenway.

This project is located on Sharon Road at Eastburn Road. The project proposes a curve realignment adding a left-turn lane from Sharon Road on to Eastburn Road and removing the superelevation.

This project is bordered by Highway I-85 to the north, Cinderella Road to the south, Echo Glen Road to the east, and West Sugar Creek Road to the west.  The drainage system consists of open channel and closed pipe systems underneath city-maintained roads.  This was previously identified as a major capital project from the watershed ranking prioritization process, scoring 73 of 100.  The ranking protocol identifies 18 structures that experience flooding in the 100-year storm event and 7 roads that experience transverse overtopping events that do not meet current standards.  The entire neighborhood has received a patchwork of repairs over the years and a holistic project is needed to cost beneficially address the drainage system issues.

The purpose and need for this construction project is to improve the storm drainage infrastructure (i.e. pipe systems and culverts) to reduce flooding and to enhance degraded stream reaches to reduce erosion and improve water quality.  This project is under review.  Location and project details will be provided after review is complete.

The storm drainage improvement project is for the area in and around Hill Street.  The construction project boundaries are Tryon Street to the southeast, Trade Street to the northeast, South Cedar Street and West 1st Street to the north, and Palmer Street to the southwest. The project includes storm drainage improvements that reduce house and street flooding or will repair failing infrastructure.
