New pavement markings around the NCDOT's Potts-Sloan-Beaty road project on Davidson's West Side signal more asbestos removal to come in the area. White "asbestos" markers show where soil testing in November 2025 found additional buried asbestos. Since December, NCDOT contractors have been removing asbestos-laden soil from land between Sloan and Potts streets, where a road connection is planned. NCDOT originally said in a Dec. 8 meeting that cleanup would take about a month. But workers on site have told me it's taking longer than expected. Asbestos from the nearby former Carolina Asbestos Co. mill on Depot Street (now Linden Mill) was spread across the neighborhood for decades in the 20th century. Some was removed as part of a Charlotte Water project a few years ago. Other tainted soil in people’s yards was cleaned up by the federal Environmental Protection Agency in 2017 and 2021. The cleanup has West Side residents concerned. Many have lost family members to asbestos related disease This snail was crawling through the park on the Friday #morningwalk.  Plus other sights and signs, including fresh "asbestos" markings at Roosevelt Wilson Park and around the NCDOT's Beaty-Sloan-Potts project. Thursday #morningwalk message. Window kitty and other Wednesday #morningwalk sights. Voted first at Davidson Town Hall, then the Tuesday #morningwalk. Also ran into the Davidson Area Running Team and a plastic snake, and saw parking lot work at the Swimming Hole. Monday #morningwalk ... That's a tiny window on the end wall at Davidson Elementary School. Plus other road and trail sights. Friday #morningwalk Wednesday #morningwalk finds. Also, the bluebird poses and where is Sam now ? Not a fan of this trend, where dog owners toss their bags wherever they want. Yes, that's a trash can right there. Plus other more interesting sights on the #morningwalk.
