Part of the intent was to force pass-through traffic over to North Blvd and Florida. I see some of y'all are not smart enough to take a hint.

Here’s another hint, if it was a good option before the diet more people would have already been using N Blvd. Commuters know it’s there. It’s not as if it is hidden.

But there are several factors at play. One folks heading to LSU or areas along the Government St. Corridor wouldn’t use N Blvd. They have to use Government the most Southern major E/W artery north of 10.
Two, N Blvd. ends at Foster. Traffic can’t use N Blvd. unless they use Foster and other East West arteries. N Blvd being a left turn off Foster heading north is another factor.
I suspect in time traffic patterns will change but businesses along Government won’t see any real boost in business. Locals close to the area will frequent those establishments as they do now, but outsiders don’t come any more than they do now.
