Just
east
of
the
light
rail
tracks,
among
charlotte's
skyscrapers
from
a
parking
lot
to
a
first
class
park,
be
ready
to
bask
in
the
sun,
stroll
the
garden
walks
or
rest
under
the
oak
trees.
The
building,
where
dixie's
tavern
once
was,
will
be
completely
renovated,
with
a
new
family
friendly
feel
and
for
the
kids.
Let
them
cool
off
in
the
children's
fountain.

The
redevelopment
also
calls
for
improvements
to
8th
and
brevard
streets,
as
well
as
the
construction
of
a
new
10th
street
right-of-way.
The
park
is
a
component
of
redevelopment
of
part
of
first
war.
This
is
made
possible
through
a
public-private
partnership
that
includes
the
city
of
charlotte
levine
properties,
unc,
charlotte
and
mecklenburg
county.
