Tonight's Charlotte City Council meeting will be a doozy. Pour a glass of wine and get ready for more than 100 speakers on the 2040 Comprehensive Plan. Tweets in the thread. Watch live, starting at 5, here #CLTCC: facebook.com/CLTgov/

East Charlotte residents: you are about to get your second lane on Central Avenue back.

City Manager Marcus Jones says the bus-only lane pilot will conclude at the end of the month. CATS will analyze data from the 6 month pilot and apply it to Phase 3 of the Gold Line #CLTCC

We have reached the monthly portion of Public Forum where east Charlotte residents tell #CLTCC how much they dislike the bus only lane on Central Ave. This time, the first speaker started off saying "thank you" since the city manager announced it is going away

The next ECLT resident did not say thank you

Anti dedicated bus lane on Central Ave speaker: "It is a terrible thing when we have to fight our elected officials to just leave us alone.... you have made our lives unthinkable and unbearable" #CLTCC

No one wants to speak during the public hearing on a resolution to close Cecil Street. But 106 people want to speak on the 2040 Comp Plan. That discussion is about to start #CLTCC: facebook.com/cltgov

Mayor Vi Lyles is about to read a memo about the 2040 Plan. If you want to know what it says a few seconds sooner, see the below tweet:

Each of the 106 speakers will have 2 minutes to give their comments on the 2040 Plan #CLTCC

Some of the sharpest comments against the 2040 Plan have come from Tim Sittema of Crosland SE.. the developer of Eastland #CLTCC

Followed by the sharpest comments in favor of the plan.. Amar Johnson of the Seversville Neighborhood Association- He said anyone who votes against this plan is a segregationist #CLTCC

The public hearing on the Comp Plan ended before American Idol #cltcc
