Charlotte leaders discussing protected bike lanes in uptown

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Protected bike lanes could soon be in uptown Charlotte.

Charlotte leaders are looking to pay up to $500,000 to design a two-way separated bike lane.

Once completed, the bike lanes will be on 5th Street from Irwin Avenue to 6th Street, along 5th Street and McDowell.

A city survey found those streets are the most likely to be used.
