This substation really is a prime example of why our city and state fall behind. This plan was first discussed before Covid. Finally breaks ground end of 2022 with phase 1 complete by end of 2023.

Here we are in 2024 with partially funded phase 1 and a hoped for completion by 2025 hurricane system.

This isn’t a billion dollar project. The city and state should be able to fund and build this to address drainage in its biggest city.

Power for the drainage pumps in New Orleans, another bridge across the river in Baton Rouge, replace the I-10 bridge in lake Charles.

Why are we incapable of helping ourselves?

Everyone has to deal with flooding if you get a lot of rain.
Iowa, Missouri, and Memphis have gone through some major flooding when they have a big snow year and it melts.

In the Baton Rouge are you have flooding when the Amite River basin cannot handle the amount of rain. Never understood why they haven’t put a pump on the end of Bayou Manchac to pump into Mississippi River.

New Orleans flood as we all know.
The residents pay a lot of tax dollars to the Sewer and water board. Problem is the S&WB waste their tax dollars instead of fixing problems that can be fixed.
