The Town of Indian Trail is launching the second and final round of public input via an online survey as part of the development of its first Transportation Master Plan. Residents are encouraged to visit https://arcg.is/1qqrnS to take the brief survey, which will be available until Tuesday, Sept. 17.
The Transportation Master Plan project, made possible by a grant from the Charlotte Regional Transportation Organization (CRTPO), kicked off late last year and aimed to identify priority intersections needing improvements in Indian Trail. Intersections were screened using a quantitative process, and the top eight were shared with the public during a previous survey for input. Intersections already programmed for improvements were not studied as a part of this process.
Based on the screening and public input results, three intersections were carried forward for a more detailed traffic and safety analysis, concept designs, and cost estimates. These intersections are:
- Chestnut Lane / Potter Road
- Stinson Hartis Road / Younts Road / Indian Trail Fairview Road
- Unionville-Indian Trail Road / Faith Church Road
The survey, linked above, seeks input on the proposed improvements at these priority intersections, as well as proposed amendments to CRTPO’s Comprehensive Transportation Plan.
The results from this survey and the draft plan will be available for review in early October.

Last year, CRTPO awarded the Town $150,000 for the Transportation Master Plan. The amount includes the required $30,000, or 20 percent match, from the Town, as it was an 80/20 matching grant. CRTPO receives direct attributable funds, also known as discretionary funds or grants, to be allocated to member jurisdictions on a competitive basis. Project selection is guided by the CRTPO Board-approved Discretionary Fund Policy Guide, which prioritizes regional projects that will utilize federal funds.
