Wesley Heights station
Wesley Heights station is a Charlotte streetcar stop on the CityLynx Gold Line, serving the Wesley Heights Historic District. The stop is at-ground on West Trade Street, at the intersection with Frazier Avenue and Wesley Heights Way, just west of I-77/US 21. It has an island platform with two tracks, is accessible, and offers bicycle racks.
The Wesley Heights neighborhood, part of the West End, was developed in 1911 as a streetcar suburb and features early 20th-century home styles such as Bungalow/Craftsman, Colonial Revival, and Tudor Revival.
The station opened on August 30, 2021. Construction began in fall 2016, and although it was originally planned to open in early 2020, delays pushed the opening to 2021. Realignment of Frazier Avenue to intersect with Wesley Heights Way cost about $1.62 million (in 2021 dollars).
Each passenger shelter at the station houses artwork by George Bates. The windshields carry titles inspired by Shakespeare’s sonnet 74: The Worth of That, is That Which It Contains; and That is This, and This With Thee Remains, reflecting the area’s history and character.
