Unlike SBR, NBR has an excellent grid system of streets. Traffic isn't really an issue. The issues are poverty, crime, and pitiful schools.
I worked in NBR for a number of years and agree traffic is not an issue. My thoughts would be bringing in a bypass would increase volume to NBR and allow real estate developers to begin the process of rebuilding blighted areas around the new highway leading to a trickle down of investments eventually spreading through all of NBR.
We could also simply buy up a huge tract of NBR, demolish, and build a white utopia such as The Woodlands in Texas. That will really spur development of the Northside

The problem with EBR traffic is a regional problem, and can only be abated by a comprehensive plan including the entire region (Livingston, Ascension, Iberville, EBR and WBR.
wholeheartedly agree and I have continuously posted on TD about the need for a regional transportation authority that can userp the NIMBYism so pervasive in the outlying parishes.

This is why I support some variant of the BUMP proposal. No one's house gets knocked down. It helps feed traffic to the old bridge and reduced tie ups on the new bridge....all while making real estate along the route in north BR more valuable.

I suspect that if they could widen Airline to 6 or 8 lanes and cut out a few of those traffic lights, it could actually be a decent alternate route to the daily traffic tie ups on I-10.
