At the ribbon-cutting, Riley, a student at South Academy of International Languages, described the crossing as more than paint and lights: “for the 1,260 students who come here and learn in this building every day, it is not small at all,” he said, thanking the Charlotte Department of Transportation, City Council and the CMS Board of Education for the investment.
Sarah Mathis, representing Swan, thanked council members and city staff and said the improvements are 'greatly needed, greatly appreciated.' Community speakers urged continued work in Nations Ford and Arrowood so that the ribbon cutting is one step in ongoing improvements rather than the end of attention to the corridor.
