Will your Charlotte neighborhood trees be clear-cut for billboards? Here's a list

Charlotte and state leaders are requesting that billboard owners put a pause on cutting trees to improve visibility to their signs. The request comes after Adams Outdoor Advertising cut down a 500-foot stretch of trees — perhaps more than 100 trees — to improve visibility of a billboard along U.S. 74 or Independence Boulevard in Plaza Midwood. The tree clearing caused a massive outcry from local businesses owners along Commonwealth Avenue and residents. Business owners said the trees blocked out noise and pollution coming from the highway. There are 40 active permits around Mecklenburg County where Adams Outdoor and Lamar Outdoor either intend to cut trees or have already. The Plaza Midwood site is one of those places. Here’s a list of the active permits that were issued between July 14 and Nov. 2:

Vietnamese sandwich and bubble tea restaurant opens in Lake Norman retail center

Co-owners Tracy Quach and Luynh Nguyen have brought the authentic flavors and ingredients of their native Vietnam to Lake Norman with their new bánh mì and bubble tea restaurant, Vietopia . The establishment opened Oct. 1 in the former R&B Tea space in the Winslow Bay Commons (SuperTarget) shopping center at N.C. 150 and Bluefield Road in Mooresville. “When we took over the shop, we wanted to create something special that you could not find around here,” Quach told CharlotteFive at the restaurant Wednesday. Bulgogi Beef ($9.50) is the most popular menu item, Quach said. The bánh mì item includes beef with a secret sauce, pickled Daikon, carrot, cucumber and cilantro. “Very fresh,” Quach said. “Everything homemade.” Other bánh mìs include the Vietnamese Cold Cuts ($9), pork, liver pate and Vietnamese ham; the Mooresville ($9.75), pork, ham and pate; the Vegetarian ($8), tofu and vegan ham; the Shredded Chicken ($9) and the Roasted Pork ($9.50).

Mecklenburg County buying 56 acres for park, housing in northwest Charlotte

Mecklenburg County commissioners quietly approved a $12 million purchase this past week of more than 55 acres for parks and housing at 400 Radio Road in northwest Charlotte. Why it matters: That's sizable acreage, near Sunset Hills Golf Course, that will eventually be turned into multiuse sports fields and mixed-income housing, two things Charlotte needs. Plans for the site have yet to be designed, so details are scarce and there's no timeline, a county spokesperson told Axios. Between the lines: Commissioners approved the purchase from Charlotte Broadcasting, LLC almost unanimously following a closed session. Commissioner Elaine Powell, a staunch parks advocate, cast the lone "no" vote. She told Axios she didn't approve of the funding method because it "depleted" the money available to acquire top priority properties. Half of the purchase price will come from Environmental Leadership Plan dollars. The land is appraised at $3 million, according to county records , a quarter of the purchase price. But the county says an independent third-party appraisal valued the property at $13.1 million.
