Hello,
I just read a very interesting article on Charlotte.com The article is about Mecklenburg County's greenway system. Mecklenburg County has already built 12 greenways and 23 miles of trails. The original plan called for the entire greenway system to be linked throughout the county creating a 185 mile path. The intentions of this plan were great; however the plan did not take into consideration the rights of the private property owners.
One Huntersville resident learned of Mecklenburg County and Huntersville's greenway plan that would have brought a path right through the middle of her back yard!!! "I can't imagine sitting on my deck, drinking my morning tea and instead of seeing squirrels and birds in my trees, watching bikers zip past me in my backyard."
Below is the link to the article. If you are working with buyers and sellers in Mecklenburg County, I would definitely check it out and learn more about the proposed greenway system. Some are actually calling for legislation that would ban the use of eminent domain for greenways.
Thanks,
