Construction on the extension of City Boulevard (Graham Street Connector) was scheduled to be completed by 2012. However, if approved, the IKEA project will begin the “weave” redesign by extending City Boulevard from I-85 headed east, with a temporary connection to Hwy 29. Once the full “weave” project is completed, City Boulevard will connect to and become University City Boulevard /Highway 49. The proposed redesign of the “weave” will eliminate the high-speed ramps and provide for an at-grade intersection. Once this new intersection is in place, a road network can be established to provide access to more than 300 acres of vacant land. Major property owners along the “weave,” working with University City Partners, have expressed a willingness to build a portion of the street network in this area.
