The state has provided a list of cute little projects they'd like to build if they had the money. What projects would you like to see the most? Do any of these piss you off?

The map showing the route of the Baton Rouge northern bypass is bizarre. It's preposterous that much of I-49 is only "Priority C".

New bridge in BR area should be in the top priorities instead of B.

Interesting....had no idea that there was ever any plans for extending I-510 freeway through Chalmette and building a bridge to connect to WB Expressway.

I see they are in no hurry to get that I-69 built through NW LA.

Will never happen. This bridge has been discussed for over 30 years. Monroe and WM will never come together to decide where to put it.

1. a new bridge (with train tracks in the middle)
2. a loop
3. passenger trains between Lafayette, BR and Nola. Connect the 3 main South LA cities.

The rest can go frick themselves.

This list is not new. This priority list has been in place for at least a decade. I remember when Blanco Admin and DOTD put this out. Basically a list of projects that are beyond the budget. A couple of new projects get added from time to time.

Not only that but putting a northern loop as a B and not even listing a southern loop is mind-numbingly ridiculous.

I'm hoping President Trump's infrastructure plan can put some teeth into this list. It's great we actually have a president who is interested in fixing our shitty neglected infrastructure.
