Lee Drive needs a road diet. Also in desperate need of bike lanes. I used to ride it and highland to LSU and it was dangerous 15 years ago.

Highland also needs bike lanes too. Who ever put together those super tight right of ways back in the day was an idiot.


Highland is designated as Historic Road and cannot be modified.

Highland was originally a wagon road and that is why it is narrow.

I am actually ok with this. Highland is probably the most scenic road to drive in BR.

The problem for BR has less to do with capacity of surface streets and more to do with design and layout. There are far too few grided streets on the south side of town and that is a major cause of the delays. Too many neighborhoods with no thru traffic and dead end streets.
