re: Baton Rouge to get $1.8 million transit grant

One of the reasons for narrowing government street to 3 lanes is to allow for a streetcar line to run down government street from the river center and casinos to brcc and independence park (with a possible extension to cortana in the future).

This would allow the nicholson street car to intersect it downtown, connecting midcity and lsu, and would intersect with the proposed passenger train station on government that would connect Baton Rouge with New Orleans.
