In August, a majority of the East Baton Rouge Metro Council agreed to invest $250,000 of local matching funds for the new station on Government Street. Whatever of the combined $500,000 is left after the station is designed can be put toward construction, said Gwen Hamilton, head of the Redevelopment Authority, which owns the old Entergy site.

Seems like a bad place to put a station. No room for parking.

I'm sure they'll incorporate parking into the design if they actually accomplished this.

I really need to get into the civil infrastructure design business. Somebody is about to charge 500K for a silly design and not build a damn thing.

I know. I'm saying I don't see the space necessary to have adequate parking in that area.

Yes, but the platform won't support him so the point is moot.
