The Baton Rouge Florida Blvd plan, what genius thinks this will work

Kudos for at least trying
20 minutes is about what you need to get in and out without getting shot
LINK /
One significant part of the master plan is the development of 20-minute neighborhoods. A 20-minute neighborhood is a place where residents have amenities within walking distance and facilities to enable healthy lifestyles and improve quality of life, according to the project website.
The 20-minute neighborhoods would be developed in six areas labeled as “neighborhood centers”: The Interstate-110 Stitch, Mid City, Foster and Florida, Bon Carre, Cortana and Sherwood.

I think an overlay district that dismantles old abandoned signs, improves lighting, sidewalk, street pavement, landscaping, etc. would significantly help. Zoning to improve signage and aesthetic quality of new developments would also help. Honestly they need to do that across every city and town in Louisiana.
The new Rouses looks really nice, and I'm actually impressed with how the old Broadmoor shopping center is turning out. The new ALDI will likely be very nice as well. Looks like some big new DC's are going up behind Amazon in the Tom Drive area too. There's clearly been a lot of private development accompanying the massive Amazon center, but the city and state have largely ignored everything in their right of way. The city/parish and state need to get their shite together to keep this trend going. Stop talking about it and start doing it.
Thank God for Keep Tigertown Beautiful.

These places are way too industrialized. Unless they plan on selling large warehouses to section 8 building apartment complexes, then this will never happen.

I think they are building a big apartment complex near N Foster and FL Blvd that I can almost guarantee will be Sec 8.

Only one of those feasible as of now MAY be Mid-City.
The rest are either pure ghetto or ghetto adjacent.

the part of Florida where the Greyhound station is needs major work, that’s all I’ll say on that
Posted on 4/23/24 at 10:48 am to nicholastiger
Do n’t need “20-minute” cities. Need to get rid of the crime.

Give me 20 minutes and a cat D9 dozer and I’ll do 20 million of damage

I would be curious to hear their plan because their website is nothing but vague bullshite. They had a graphic showing “predominantly white” vs “predominantly black” neighborhoods that said downtown was black while Sherwood Forest was white. Absolutely ridiculous.
I want to know their plan to redevelop all of these massive empty parking lots, warehouses, car lots, and shopping centers that line the corridor.

As a general rule, the entire 110 area is a shithole.
Governor’s mansion and Spanishtown are fine but the rest of it travels through the “Bermuda triangle” of murders in BR.

If you bulldozed every building on Mohican, you may do tens of thousands in improvements.

It might work.
I had to do research on site selection for a company that was considering a place on Florida blvd years ago. The section with those service roads are weird....could never figure out how to calculate traffic counts accurately.
I think those retailers would be better served by a wider 6 or 8 lane street with a wide, landscaped median than a 4 lane highway with service/feeder roads. There is 200' of right of way in most of those sections east of Airline. They could move the travel lanes to the far edges of it and make a lot of those businesses more visible while also improving aesthetics.
They way they have that part of the highway now with the service roads but without overpasses at the intersections is the worst of both worlds.

I mean this is basically how they are developing the state of Florida. They come in build a school. Build soccer fields and baseball. Then you have your big stores your “local” fun places to eat, get ice cream etc.
Basically just hit all the things you would want then they develop the land around into neighborhoods in different fases over 20 years.

Sherwood Forest was white
LOL.
Sherwood used to be white. These days it is black, Hispanic, or Vietnamese depending on what stretch you are on.
