re: How many of you baws went to the public meeting last night about the new bridge?

---

Judy Eits said she is bothered that the bridge may be constructed too far south, to get traffic to New Orleans. Eits said lots of traffic on the current bridge near Port Allen, especially 18-wheelers, is trying to get to I-12 on the way east and those drivers want to avoid New Orleans. "I don't know that is our big problem," she said, meaning making it easier for motorists to get to eastbound I-10.

Oh FFS the media picks this idiot to quote?

There is not a single location that's possible that won't upset somebody. But they have to get moving on this whole endeavor and make a selection if they want a prayer in ever getting this funded and built. And they need to do it quickly.

My advice would be to pick the location that will attract the most vehicular traffic and use tolls to pay for as much of it as possible.
