Just 3 lane it and forget the sidewalks. The houses are too close to the road.

Good luck, they've been working on Sullivan Rd. in Central it feels like as long as that's been it's own city.

The best road project BR has done in my lifetime was the dedicated turn lane at Nicholson and Lee/Brightside. When I was in college, Nicholson would back up for miles with people trying to turn left.

Interesting they call the center section in the second illustration by it's American name as god intended, a "median."

Isn't that something you coonasses regularly argue about? I know you 'neutral ground' people will be highly offended

Is this open to wagers on if it will happen?

I can't see it happening in my lifetime unless they take a D-12 Cat and wipe out the houses on one whole side of the street.

Southdowns is loaded up with quaintness so that would be a hard sell.

Lee, Hyacinth, Stuart,etc..is full of NIMBys with political clout.

They are proud owners of the most expensive 70 year old asbestos shingle houses in all of BR. Most still with the original antique insulation, electrical, plumbing to match.

You say their house isn't worth 500K, F You man, that house is by Aloysius, and within walking range of the LSU Lakes. Hop skip jump to Overpass bars, Parrains, and Trader Joe.

Damn you for needing the common good for all of Rougeans. Let them live in their 1950s delusion peacefully.
