Whatever happened to the development of Government Street? All I see is overgrown grass, traffic congestion, and some quick cash shops. Within the next 10 years it will be the new Florida Boulevard

Outsiders who don't live along government cried because they'd have had to take a different route to avoid traffic.

The people who live along that corridor are fully behind the plan.

They actually need to add capacity (lanes) to major arteries in other areas, such as Old Hammond, Perkins, Airline Highway, LA 30, etc.

I'm not. The traffic issue would be horrendous just due to all the CATS bus stops. There is zero benefit to the road diet plan that could not be accomplished more cheaply and efficiently via bike lanes and sidewalk improvements on Capitol Heights and/or Claycut.
