In January 2022, CATS' policy board, the Metropolitan Transit Commission (MTC), approved a refined Locally Preferred Alternative (LPA), including implementation of an initial 15-mile segment from Center City southeast to the Town of Matthews. The following questions are about potential alignment and station changes in the initial segment, including near the Bojangles Coliseum.

The map below displays a recommended shift in alignment over Briar Creek Road and paralleling the east side of the Briar Creek Road / Television Place bridge across Independence Boulevard. The alignment would continue through the Bojangles Coliseum and Ovens Auditorium property, with a station slightly closer to those buildings.
