EBR taxpayers voted to widen Nicholson from LSU to Lee/Brightside in 2005.


At least they added left turn lanes and zipper merges at the Brightside intersection. That definitely was a big help, it was such a shite show before then. Just gotta take care of the Tigerland intersection now but that one doesn't get near as bad as Brightside used.

The stretch of Nicholson from Chimes St going to downtown has been torn up for quite a while now. I thought Sherwood took long enough to get finished but this is taking the cake.

Yes, it was a big help. We voted for that project at the same time we voted to widen Nicholson from LSU to that intersection.

It was all in Kip’s Greenlight Plan. Apparently the current mayor had put that on the back burner.
