There’s nothing like walking out your front door and seeing a tree coming to life. 🌳 More shade. Less heat. A better-looking block. That’s what a street tree can do, and you can get one planted for free! Landscape Management is growing Charlotte’s tree canopy one neighborhood street at a time. No need for yard space. These trees are planted along the street, where they benefit the whole community. Request a tree for your street at cltgov.me/streettree.

We love seeing young people active and outdoors, but e‑bike misuse is creating dangerous situations on our roads. We’re seeing more juveniles riding them recklessly on busy roads without regard for traffic laws. That puts riders, drivers, and pedestrians at risk. E‑bike misuse can result in bike seizures, juvenile charges and most importantly — serious injuries or fatalities. Let’s work together to keep our streets safe. Parents: please talk with your kids about responsible riding and the laws that apply to e‑bikes. Safety isn’t optional, it’s life‑saving.

Beginning today Charlotte Water will implement mandatory water restrictions to help protect our region’s water supply. These measures are an important step to reduce non-essential water use and ensure we can meet the needs of our growing community, especially during changing conditions. I encourage everyone to do their part—small actions like limiting outdoor watering and reducing unnecessary use can make a big difference. Learn more about the restrictions and how you can help: charlottewater.org Thank you for working together to conserve this vital resource.
