re: Louisiana DOTD Megaprojects

Widening the interstate doesn't change the fact that MRB, College, Airline, Sherwood, and O'Neal all back up onto 110, I-10 and I-12.

It will loosen what you send going Westbound in the mornings and Eastbound in the afternoons. But until we address the arteries that take traffic away from exits within EBR, making the pipeline that runs through it bigger won't have the same impact folks think it will.

Not saying it won't help. But issues like College....Essen....Perkins...Siegen...Government...those aren't going to be fixed by a multi-year mega project. We will still have traffic problems until BR passes ordinances and zoning with teeth that require the Developers to truly pay for the traffic impacts of their development and then require new development to connect to existing development creating through streets and better gridding.

It's time to erase cul de sac's from BR Developers vocabulary.

But instead this city is worried about the results of an investigation from a proven pedophile and convicted felon with a firearm's death and race hucksters inciting division. Our real problems grow by the second while we argue over bullshite.
