The State should buy Florida Blvd property now while it’s “relatively cheap” and expand Florida Blvd to six lanes, with no crossovers, creating a bypass from Denham to downtown.

The Florida-Airline exchange should look like the Causeway-I10 exchange in NOLA.

Have overpasses at Sherwood, Flannery, O’Neal, Sharp, Wooddell, Lobdell, Foster and Acadian.

It would fix a ton of traffic problems. And maybe a few neighborhood problems too.

I can remember this being discussed decades ago and the main opponents claimed that overpasses create slums/ghettos. I'm not sure of the logic there but at this point so what? I agree that Florida Blvd should have more overpasses and less traffic lights.
