Baton Rouge Area Foundation President and CEO John Davies said Wednesday that the solution to the city’s traffic problems is not adding more roads, but exploring new transportation methods ranging from bike share programs to urban gondolas.


WTF. Is this a joke?

Nicholson is still a two lane rural cross section, I-10 narrows down to a single lane eastbound in the middle of the city, and Airline is still a highly congested 4 lane road through most of the metro area. Those are simple, easy capacity increases for existing roads that are currently being neglected by both state and parish governments.

Gondolas? They replaced Moret with someone who suggested fricking gondolas as a way to solve traffic problems? WTF?

John Davies needs to be fired immediately just for suggesting something so incredibly stupid.

Moret worked at BRAC then LED

John Davies is president of BRAF.

Again, as I said earlier he made the statement in the rotary meeting more to show the broad range of ideas that their committees were exploring as suggestions. Not their primary or only option.
