Trees & Urban Heat
Urban heat is caused by paved surfaces and large buildings that absorb and emit extreme heat, especially during the summer months. One solution to this problem is growing and maintaining a robust urban tree canopy. Trees are an imperative part of sustainable urban design because they provide a cooling effect through shade and reduced impervious surface, which can lower temperatures up to 20 degrees!

    Kudos to Sustain Charlotte and AARP for sponsoring this project. With the expanding greenways in Charlotte this allows new and experienced cyclists to better understand the greenway amenities and wonderful design and hardscaping.

    It is very sad to hear them speak of the inequities and segregation issues in the city, and yet, engaging ‘the community’ throughout the video shows one group of people voicing their concerns. Unfortunately, it is that group of people who is displacing historical neighborhoods with high-end new construction that drives up properly values, thereby pushing existing residents out. Throughout these historically African American communities you can plainly see this as breweries and bike trails are creating ‘sustainable’ communities for some. Charlotte city government has planned for this and implement it for over a decade and I thought this initiative would actually help protect the historical communities and revitalize them instead of destroying them. It’s quite evident throughout the video who is being served by these policies and who is being left behind but mentioned (not even shown) in any meaningful efforts to halt the destruction of previously affordable communities and any hope for integrated public education and housing throughout the county.

    While I enjoy hearing the motorist perspective on why protected bike lanes are important, why did Josh ride the bike on the sidewalk in Uptown Charlotte? Is my understanding correct that you can get fined for riding a bike on the sidewalk in Uptown Charlotte?

    This is my sister, Meredith in this video. Some scumbag stole her bike yesterday... If you see the bike that is in this video (0:10 seconds is a still-shot) report it to the Charlotte Police Department immediately. A stolen report is on file with local law enforcement. Thank you, please help her find her bike!

    Much to your dismay, it is not practical to get around except by car for residents of Lake Norman so we will continue using our cars. Most of us cannot use public transit as buses are not practical or do not have routes available where needed, and light rail does not exist up here. Also, we will not move to Charlotte. Instead we will boycott Charlotte. Happy bike riding!

    I know it's not a law to wear a bike helmet but should probably use them for best safety practices.

Have you seen our 6 - Stories, 1 City - video series yet? It is focused exclusively on how critical transit is to Charlotte, especially our bus network!
