Weeds are getting taller and taller in the new flower beds.
As traffic slows the weeds grow.

This is why you don’t design a road with miles of flowerbeds.

Apparently a fight between city and state ain’t helping. I’m in the minority but i like what they’ve done. It’s not perfect and needs some fixes but it’s slowed down the area and provides a more local feel to the area.

Imagine spending money to reduce the number of travel lanes.

Watched video. $11,700,000.00 budget.

And they can’t spray a little roundup once a month or God forbid actually do the landscaping?

Politicians, “consultants” and brother in laws’ pockets all get greased while the actual work doesn’t get done. Why does this sound familiar?

I think the people that wanted it need to have BRPD block the roads 3 am, every Saturday morning rain or shine, and they need to be out there maintaining the medians.

And uh, what part of this surprises anyone who knows Baton Rouge?


When you look at the rest of the city, does it look like a place that maintains stuff, takes pride in itself, or cares?

Im sure the majority of those against the road diet do not live in Mid City and are pissed that they have to take Florida to their DR Horton meth village in the LP.

The beds near Goodwood were recently redone. The others look like crap. I’ve been waiting for the various neighborhood associations or Mid City Merchants to step in. Not that they should have to but the city-parish admin won’t get it done.
