"We’re in the process in the first half of 1980 to determine if its valid and how to put the plan into “effect.’’-* Five study groups are meeting Jan. 21-March 10 to research and discuss issues in preparation for the Urban Symposium to be held April 14-15. "The focus,” Cramton said, “is concentrating on major issues instead of lesser issues of import ance.” During 1980 Cramton . - predicts a severe shortage of middle income housing Providing for higher den -aiUt-it: hoing t»varpinpH :ic a possible solution. City travel of the future poses the question should the city plan for a future with reliance on the auto mobile. or should Charlotte encourage mass transit? Planners are attempting to use existing streets more efficiently while increasing ~gmmmi I fnr-n mass transit system. Uptown development will concentrate on introducing more compact residential areas, meeting the demand for 2,600 middle income families, and have the po tential for doubling jobs. Cramton said. To encourage citizen in volvement, according to Cramton, Charlotte needs “stimulation of neighbor hoods to discuss issues. " Some citizens want to become invoiced when* tlir ■ problem is defined rather than just discussing solu tions at the hearings, he said. The planning capability of the government"A1ro ef fectively plan for growth and implement plans." will be examined by the study groups As coordinator of the Urban Symposium.
