CHARLOTTE, N.C. — The Charlotte Area Transit System (CATS) is restoring about $10 million in projects — including a parking deck and additional ticket vending machines — to the light-rail extension that had been cut four years ago, reported the Charlotte Observer.

In 2010, when CATS was concerned with whether it could afford to build the Blue Line extension, the transit system removed some features to save money.
