The Charlotte City Council\u2019s vote to rescind support for the Interstate 77 south toll lane project<\/a> was a surprise even to its own members.<\/p>\n

They\u2019d just passed a resolution<\/a> at the May 11 meeting asking the North Carolina Department of Transportation to pause the project until it satisfied a list of requests, such as completing a new design analysis. Many thought the night\u2019s discussion would end there.<\/p>\n

It did not.<\/p>\n

Council member Renee Perkins Johnson moved to rescind support for the project\u2019s funding. The council agreed in a close 6-5 vote, setting into motion the project\u2019s cancellation<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Many in the audience and at the dais were stunned. But behind the scenes, pressure had been mounting from community leaders with considerable pull \u2014 especially over elections. The resolution and concessions from NCDOT weren\u2019t enough.<\/p>\n

The issue finally reached a breaking point.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a moment where the will of the people was saying we\u2019ve had enough,\u201d said Raki McGregor, chairperson of the Black Political Caucus of Charlotte-Mecklenburg<\/a>\u2019s transportation committee. \u201cWe\u2019ve had enough of decisions being made without the inclusion of the people that will be impacted the most.\u201d<\/p>\n

The BPC is considered one of Charlotte\u2019s most influential groups in local politics.<\/p>\n

About half of the Democratic primary voters in Charlotte are Black. Each election season, BPC members vote on who they want to endorse, and those candidates often win.<\/p>\n

McGregor wasn\u2019t afraid to make that fact known in the weeks leading up to the dramatic City Council vote. He told WFAE the issue could be a factor<\/a> in the organization\u2019s next round of endorsements.<\/p>\n

The pressure campaign continued in private meetings, too, which some council members said were consequential in securing enough support for the rescission.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey told some of my colleagues, \u2018Give us a pledge that if there is a motion to rescind, you will vote for it.\u2019 They put a huge amount of pressure on the people that knew that support from the Black Political Caucus was probably critical to their reelection,\u201d said Ed Driggs, who represents District 7 in south Charlotte and has been a consistent supporter of the project. \u201cThe position they were in and are in was very difficult.\u201d<\/p>\n

Just before casting his vote, Mayor Pro Tem James Mitchell referenced the commitment he made to support the rescission and said he had changed his mind.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m more educated now. I\u2019m more informed now. And I don\u2019t know rescinding (the funding agreement) is in the best interest of the work we did on the resolution,\u201d Mitchell said.<\/p>\n

Council members Malcolm Graham, Joi Mayo, JD Mazuera Arias, Perkins Johnson, LaWana Slack-Mayfield and Victoria Watlington voted in support of the rescission. All were endorsed<\/a> by the BPC besides Mazuera Arias.<\/p>\n

Mayo, who represents District 3 in west Charlotte, said endorsements might have played into some people\u2019s votes. Her constituents would suffer most of the negative impact of the I-77 expansion, however, and those are the people whose voices informed her decision.<\/p>\n

At-large councilwoman Watlington said the BPC \u201cdefinitely\u201d played a big role in the vote. But other community groups and neighborhood leaders along I-77 also played big roles. Perkins Johnson said the same.<\/p>\n

And Graham \u2014 who some considered the swing vote \u2014 told reporters<\/a> at an event on Thursday he was swayed by an article by The Charlotte Observer<\/a> about the project\u2019s potential impact on his neighbors. Asked by the Observer whether the BPC played any role in his vote, he said, \u201cNo.\u201d<\/p>\n

McGregor declined to comment on the specifics of his meetings with City Council members. BPC meetings are private, he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat I will say is that we hold all of our individuals that we endorse accountable to what they commit to the community,\u201d McGregor said. \u201cWe\u2019re going to trust you, but we\u2019re gonna verify. And once we verified, we found that that trust was not warranted.\u201d<\/p>\n

McGregor said he was tasked by the BPC with holding officials whom they had endorsed accountable. Some people have accused him of blackmail, he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen they don\u2019t meet our threshold, we should not endorse those individuals. Now, if that\u2019s what somebody\u2019s calling blackmail, then they need to look at the definition of the word, and they need to understand that advocacy demands accountability,\u201d McGregor said. \u201cWe are very much about endorsements, not entitlements.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Charlotte Regional Transportation Planning Organization gave initial approval to the project in 2014, when it was decided a public-private partnership was essentially the only path forward for a project of that size.<\/p>\n

CRTPO makes decisions about transportation projects in the area, but the city accounts for more than 40% of the board\u2019s weighted votes.<\/p>\n

The state committed $600 million of the $3.2 billion project, plus an additional $100 million Charlotte could spend on transportation projects of the city\u2019s choosing.<\/p>\n

But it wasn\u2019t until more than a decade later, in November 2025, that NCDOT released project design maps<\/a> that showed homes in historically Black neighborhoods were subject to demolition. That caused public outcry that NCDOT was never able to recover from, even after revising its maps to avoid most of those houses and implementing new community engagement initiatives.<\/p>\n

The messaging was also an issue.<\/p>\n

\u201cFirst it\u2019s about commuters, and then it\u2019s about safety, and then it almost feels like people were just wondering, \u2018Are you trying to figure out what\u2019s gonna land?\u2019 How do you justify people potentially losing their houses?\u201d Mayo said. \u201cI don\u2019t think they were ever able to dig themselves out of a hole.\u201d<\/p>\n

Neighborhood leaders in the interstate\u2019s path mobilized their residents.<\/p>\n

The movement quickly morphed to include broader community groups including the BPC, Action NC and Sustain Charlotte<\/a>. The organizations bombarded city leaders with emails, social media posts and phone calls. If a council member attended a public event or town hall, they made sure to attend and press them on I-77 in person.<\/p>\n

The City Council wasn\u2019t happy with NCDOT either, said Robert Dawkins, political director of Action NC<\/a>. Members who voted against the rescission still expressed frustration over the maps and the process.<\/p>\n

But even when the city isn\u2019t fully on board with a plan, it sometimes moves forward anyway on the understanding that something is better than nothing, Dawkins said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you don\u2019t push city and City Council, they\u2019ll resort always back to, \u2018Well, this is what we\u2019ve got.\u2019 So we all put in a push,\u201d Dawkins said. \u201cEverybody worked in their own bucket.\u201d<\/p>\n

Perkins Johnson, who made the motion to rescind, attributed her action to the community members who made it clear they wanted to \u201cslow down and get it right.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe people spoke, and the people won,\u201d Perkins Johnson said. \u201cI want to lead in a city where listening to the people and the people feeling like they\u2019ve been heard is not news-making and so historic.\u201d<\/p>\n

Perkins Johnson\u2019s motion directed the city\u2019s representative on the CRTPO to rescind approval of the public-private partnership agreement that was funding the I-77 project.<\/p>\n

Perkins Johnson didn\u2019t know where the votes would fall, she said. Nobody did.<\/p>\n

Moments before voting, Watlington said the measure was \u201clikely not going to pass,\u201d but she would support it anyway.<\/p>\n

And Kimberly Owens, who represents District 6 in south Charlotte, told the Observer she didn\u2019t think it would succeed because the council had just voted 10-1 in favor of the resolution. The two votes were \u201clogically incompatible with one another\u201d: one outlined steps for continued conversation while the other moved to kill the project.<\/p>\n

Owens spent months crafting the resolution.<\/p>\n

She solicited input from Sustain Charlotte, the Southern Environmental Law Center and members of the BPC. Working closely with Mayo, Watlington, Mitchell and the city attorney, she synthesized the community\u2019s concerns into a concise three-page document.<\/p>\n

The resolution called for NCDOT to commit to prioritizing people before vehicles, do more community engagement and conduct an independent evaluation that would consider alternative designs. The document called for \u201cunprecedented\u201d engagement between NCDOT, the city and affected residents, Owens said.<\/p>\n

She would have later voted to rescind if the NCDOT failed to satisfy the resolution\u2019s requests, she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think we were better off sitting at the table just set for us than leaving the dining room,\u201d Owens said. \u201cMaybe I\u2019m naive, but I really thought that there was a path there to a better outcome.\u201d<\/p>\n

For others, including Mayo, the resolution was simply \u201ctoo little, too late.\u201d Had the city passed the resolution earlier, it might have been successful, Mayo said. But community trust had already been irreparably broken.<\/p>\n

When the council counted the votes \u2014 then recounted amid confusion \u2014 Perkins Johnson\u2019s motion narrowly passed. A single vote could have tipped the scale in the opposite direction.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn my opinion, several of my colleagues thought, \u2018We could vote for that and stay on good terms with the Black Political Caucus and not do any harm because it won\u2019t pass.\u2019 And then it did, and people were surprised,\u201d Driggs said. \u201cI think that\u2019s how we got to where we are now.\u201d<\/p>\n
