What seems to be missing from all of these proposals is a large reduction in pass through traffic traveling through Baton Rouge.


You get it. Please go work for the bridge morons. People who do not live and/or work in BR should not need to drive through it to get to their next destination. Our current traffic situation is maddening. The Bluebonnet "solution" is almost laughable.

It's like the powers that be in BR want every area of our city to be crappy. Can't have anything nice. And as much as y'all hate on the U Club crowd, the truth of the matter is that area of town is becoming a very popular place to live. The Wampold development at Bluebonnet and Nicholson will make it that much nicer.

But we just can't have that, now can we. Let's create a parking lot of 18 wheelers and shove them right through a residential area that's already overburdened with traffic because nobody can plan anything in this city.

I mean at this point, why don't we just connect at Brightside and send that traffic straight up Lee to College. Why not? It'll be fun.

I think most of this is common sense, but the political considerations ruin it.

We have built bridges in Destrehan, Gramercy, and towards False River in the time since the interstate opened. None of these alleviate traffic, but help locals traverse the river.

Now we finally have money to build another bridge to actually help traffic and what are we doing - helping locals traverse the river, not substantially mitigating traffic flow through the middle of BR.
