re: BREC administration favors fairgrounds site on Airline for new Baton Rouge zoo

My DIL drives to NO to see a nice zoo. She use to drive to Baker but over the last five or so years they let the zoo go to crap.

BREC didn't keep up what they had, why give them a new toy to break.

We have way bigger needs in EBR. A zoo is way down the list.

But if you did build a zoo it should be centrally located and not convenient for Prarieville. They don't pay EBR property taxes.

An EBRP zoo will never compete with Audobon. It just needs to be a nice, smaller zoo. Non EBRP residents can pay an additional fee, just like we do at Ascension and Livingston parks.

The Baker zoo was never nice, not even 30 years ago when I was in elementary school. The Baker zoo needs to be closed permanently, the only question is if and where and new zoo should be built.

I agree EBRP has larger needs. I wish we could empty the BREC snd Library coffeirs to solve traffic issues, but it ain't happening.
