am starting to believe that widening I-10 and building a loop are 1970s ideas. I definitely believe something should be done but I think a more modern technological idea should also be brought to the table. My ideas would be to give incentives: To businesses who start using different hours. Like 7am to 4pm or 6am to 3pm (just throwing things out there) Also, give incentives to businesses who work four 10 hour days and either take Monday or Friday off. Or any day they want. Another idea is to give incentives to businesses that allow employees to work from home. I know in my office in Baton Rouge many of our employees could definitely work from home. Maybe come to the office once per week and then they could use a cube or share and office or conference room.
Uh no
And I'd bet money some of this is already happening; yet we still have the problems we see every day of the week.

If we do not find a more modern approach then building more infrastructure alone will not work. It has been proven that the amount of time it takes to build anything meaningful the city has usually grown and needs further work. At this point, there is little you can do to outrun traffic with the population growth and better traffic means more people so it is a never-ending cycle.
Plus during the construction the traffic is at an all time worse. When the construction never ends which it cannot if that is your only answer the traffic is always at its worst.
We have to come up with a better plan besides putting more and more concrete down.
Study on building bigger roads
Linked is a great study but there are tons. If your only answer is MOAR Loops and Interstates then you can never improve your situation. We have to come up with something better than the archaic MOAR Interstate and Loops.
