Mooresville Photo of the Week: Rail

Taken at the corner of Timber Road and South Main Street
just outside of Downtown Mooresville.

What ever happened to bringing the light rail system all the way from Charlotte to Mooresville? What happened to the promise of being able to jump on a train in Downtown Mooresville and 45 minutes later be in Uptown Charlotte? We need public transportation; we need trains. No matter the cost this should be done. The ability to link Mooresville and Charlotte together and take some cars off the road is invaluable.

I dream about a time when I can have dinner in Downtown Mooresville and enjoy a show in NoDa without ever getting in a car. I dream about a time when I can have a business meeting in Uptown Charlotte, dinner in South Park, and then back home again without ever stepping in a car.

We are way behind other countries when it comes to rail. What ever happened to the Mooresville light rail?
