the same people that oppose this are same types of people who oppose a loop around BR


While some people oppose anything, most at the meeting were interested in having the state do something.

In the end we need to fix I-10 through the middle of town and we need to do that in conjunction with a new bridge, by-passes, a loop or whatever.

One or even two projects won't solve things, it might take several projects to improve on what we have now. Keep in mind is the folks at DOTD are thinking 15-20 years down the road and it takes a decade to get a project done from jump to completion.

They certainly need to do something but adding a lane to and from WBR then putting party hats on is not enough. Widen and add a fricking bridge? Yes. Add a loop? Yes.
