overview
Neighboring Concepts collaborated with Parsons Transportation Group and Sasaki Associates in the planning and design of the Charlotte Area Transit System (CATS) LYNX Blue Line. The design of the stations links the historic communities along the route, downtown Charlotte, historic South End, and downtown Pineville through the elegant curves and antique material palette. The design team overcame a variety of challenging site locations, including elevated bridges, historic districts and abandoned rail yards to maintain a consistent, pedestrian-friendly environment throughout the transit line. As part of the art-in-transit program, several art installations were commissioned along the corridor, and Neighboring Concepts assisted in the incorporation of the art into the station designs.
