West Asheville groups fault late-stage I‑26 connector changes, plan community design charrette
Summary
Residents, architects and civic groups criticized late-stage changes to the I‑26 connector design — including a proposed Patton Avenue overpass — and organized a community design charrette to provide alternatives and feedback to NCDOT.
Multiple speakers representing neighborhood coalitions, architects and civic groups told commissioners on May 6 that late-stage changes to the I‑26 connector project — notably a Patton Avenue overpass and lane‑count revisions — were presented without adequate reevaluation of the project's environmental impact statement, community input, or interdisciplinary review.
