re: Today's Advocate headline, "I-10 widening garners little enthusiasm"

One lane MAY decrease commute time by as much as 1-minute but not much more. The only solution is a bridge south of downtown. It can even be as far south as St. Gabriel with an upgraded Hwy 1/West Bank expressway.

BR's problem is itself. Interstates aren't supposed to facilitate intra-city travel, much less the suburb-to-city daily commute, but decades void of planning and a lack of surface connectivity have turned I-10 into BR's Main St.
