Construction Begins on Gallant Lane Sidewalk
(March 21, 2017) Construction has begun on the sidewalk that has
been planned along Gallant Lane in front of Kennedy Middle School.
As the story from April 2015 below describes, the City of Charlotte is constructing
a sidewalk along the south side of Brown-Grier Road from Griers Fork
Drive to Gallant Lane and then along Gallant Lane to Steele Creek
Elementary School.
Workers also have been relocating utilities along Brown-Grier
Road in preparation for constructing that sidewalk.
In addition, the developers of the apartments at the corner of
Brown-Grier Road and Sandy Porter Road are required, as a condition
of their rezoning, to construct a sidewalk along the south side of
Brown-Grier Road from Gallant Lane to Sandy Porter Road.
According to city staff, a sidewalk will be in place along
Brown-Grier Road from Griers Fork Drive to Sandy Porter Road and
along the length of Gallant Lane by the time school opens this
fall.
The city also is planning major improvements to Brown-Grier Road
as part of the for the
Comprehensive Neighborhood Improvement Program (CNIP) for
the Whitehall/Ayrsley area.
See
Community Input Requested for CNIP Road Projects (March 14,
2017). These additional improvements to Brown-Grier Road are at least three and a half
years in the future.

Sidewalks Planned
on Brown-Grier Road and Gallant Lane
(April 27, 2015) Charlotte city staff
released information about plans to build sidewalks along
Brown-Grier Road and Gallant Lane at the public meeting on the Whitehall/Ayrsley
Comprehensive Neighborhood Improvement Program (CNIP)
last Thursday.
Plans call for a ten-foot-wide
sidewalk on the south side of Brown-Grier Road from Griers Fork
Drive to Gallant Lane and a sidewalk along the east side of Gallant
Lane in front of Kennedy Middle School, continuing to Steele Creek
Elementary School and Steele Creek Neighborhood Park. The
project also includes installation of high visibility crosswalks and
pedestrian signals at the Brown-Grier Road/Gallant Lane intersection
that will provide adequate crossing time for
pedestrians.,
As the schedule below shows, the sidewalks are
expected to be completed by summer or fall 2017. "RE" stands for
Real Estate Phase. Contingency and Reserve are always built into
schedules as added time for weather, utility, or other delays .

information released at the meeting, including preliminary concept
plans for sidewalks along Brown-Grier Road, in front of Kennedy
Middle School, and approaching Steele Creek Elementary School.
TWO Capital Partners,
LLC
has submitted a rezoning petition to build up to 291 apartments on
the corner of Brown-Grier Road and Sandy Porter Road. See
Petition 2015-045. Plans include sidewalks along the roads
adjacent to their property. If the apartments are approved and
built, the city will require sidewalks connecting those at Gallant
Lane to those at the apartment complex. That would result in
continuous sidewalks from Griers Fork Drive to Sandy Porter Road.
