Does this mean that the projects not yet completed in GL1 that are not listed are never going to happen?
Some things I'd have liked to see expanded in capacity that were not included with this BTR plan:
-5 lane Greenwell Springs between Central Thruway and Magnolia Bridge
-6 lane (divided) Bluebonnet between Perkins and Mall of LA.
-5 lane Sullivan between Wax and Hooper
-5 lane Jefferson between Tiger Bend and Hoo Shoo Too
-5 lane Pecue between Airline and Perkins (before they finish the interchange)
-4 lane Antioch between Jefferson and Tiger Bend
-5 lane Flannery between Old Hammond and Choctaw
-5 lane Greenwell Springs between Airline and Oak Villa
-4 Lane LA964 between 61 and Rollins Rd.
Then I'd like to see regional cooperation and/or state and federal funds for these regional scope projects:
- 8 lane I-10 between MRB and College Drive
- 6 lane I-10 between 1 mile west of LA415 and MRB
- fix the drainage and pavement at Gov Mansion curve I-110
- 4 lane Highway 30 between Lee Drive and Airline Highway in Gonzales
- 6 lane Airline between Florida and Plank (with wider median) and between Jefferson Highway and Gonzales
- 8 lane Airline (and wider median) between US190/Florida and Jefferson Highway.
- 4 lane Florida/190 between Denham and Hammond
- new 4 lane road over Intracoastal connecting LA415 to Brusly
- 4 lane LA16 between Watson and Amite
- 6 lane I-10 between Highland Gonzales
And these new toll roads:
- Southern freeway loop connecting I/10 in WBR to Gonzales/I-10, including a bridge crossing at Plaquemine Point
- Turnpike connecting I-10/Sorrento to I-12 in Livingston

one of the easiest things to do on the list

6 lane I-10 between 1 mile west of LA415 and MRB
only after doing the widening in BR...it may not even be necessary after everything else is done

The following in this current plan were ones I'm certain were in GL1:
Glen Oaks
Jones Creek
Hooper
Old Hammond
Highland/Burbank Connector
And maybe even Dijon

Kinda pointless and probably cost prohibitive.
since the gas tax didn't pass, you are going to see the state almost stop doing capacity projects and just do maintenance.
