Yes - If they were drilling it’s for Soil Borings, Engineers need those to properly design Deep Foundations for all types of Structures. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SouthEndCLT811 925 Report post Posted Monday at 12:33 PM Plans for Lidl are getting dusted off again according to today's Charlotte Ledger. Any chance we'll see the site redesigned where parking will be behind a street front building? ? https://charlotteledger.substack.com/p/the-vacation-home-market-is-bonkers 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Any chance we'll see the site redesigned where parking will be behind a street front building? ? https://charlotteledger.substack.com/p/the-vacation-home-market-is-bonkers Getting the parking in the back or at least on the side is critical for this area feeling more walkable. South starts to feel like a highway through the Scaleybark stretch. "It’s also proposing widening South Boulevard to install a southbound turn lane into the site." A designated turning lane should have also been forced on the Chick-fil-A on South Blvd or a median installation to prevent left turns from the fast food crowd looking for their daily dose of fried food that just sit there for 5 minutes with their blinker on. I hope that wrong can be fixed some day. Edited Monday at 12:57 PM by CLT2014 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SouthEndCLT811 925 Report post Posted Monday at 01:13 PM Monday-Saturday never drive in the left lane on South from Poindexter, I always think of that as a rookie move. Probably 5 out of 6 times at least 1 person is going to be turning in to that Chick-fil-A 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Temeteron 363 Report post Posted Monday at 05:00 PM I think the biggest reason why atm it’s crazy is because the are doing only drive thru because of Covid. It’s gone form crazy to even crazier because of that reason. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
j-man 1304 Report post Posted Monday at 11:24 PM Happy for this! I love Lidl. Their products are really good and very cheap. The store doesn’t have the most but your basic necessities are there. I’m glad this parcel is getting some life since Scaleybark is building up. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The prominent corner at the main intersection of the lot is just a giant concrete slab wall of the parking garage. Its so hidious and when I drive by it I question why it is like this? So the office can be half a block closer to the light rail? Edit: looked at some of the rendering on their site. I guess the garage will be wrapped with apartments, but I can't imagine there is enough room on the side of West or Tryon for that? I guess it will look good from the other side but I wonder about the main street side. Edited 23 hours ago by t_money 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Its not because of the light rail, though honestly probably yes, but current zoning would keep something as tall as Square from being directly across from single family. 2 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
