Summary
The town is deciding where a future east-west road connector between NC 115 and Asbury Chapel Road would run — a route adopted in 2002 but never fully built. Residents are split: some want no road at all, others worry about cut-through traffic in Olmstead, and Mecklenburg County has now dedicated the Ferrelltown Nature Preserve, which protects a significant Georgia Holly population, in the path.

Impact analysis
Building the full section would cost an estimated $50 million or more, and it's not currently in the town's capital plan.
Commuters and future developers would gain a reserved east-west connector route; avoiding the preserve benefits the county preserve and its rare plant population.
Property owners along candidate routes could face future right-of-way impacts, and the nature preserve would be harmed if a route crosses it.
