Discover what awaits at each station with these guides

Mar 21, 2018 | Events, Light Rail, Transportation

Great minds think alike, which may explain why several websites including ours have posted guides to restaurants, bars, shops and other destinations along the new LYNX Blue Line Extension.

We encourage you to check out each guide, then let us know what you like and what’s missing so we can make improvements. In the end, we all win when everyone rides the LYNX.

Produced by Gökotta and Sustain Charlotte, in partnership with University City Partners, this interactive map features more than 70 restaurants, coffee shops, stores, libraries and other attractions within a 15-minute walk of the stations.

Download the University City Mobility Map

The LYNX launch on March 16 ushers in a revolutionary car-free mode of transportation through University City’s business district.

We have prepared a free Mobility Map guide for the transit line and transit parking decks, as well as several other ways to get around without cars.

The map also shows University City’s 12 miles of bike-friendly greenways, regular and express CATS bus service, Gotcha bike-share stations, Zipcar station and free Niner Transit Bus Service. Download map
