Ascension has basically said f no to extending anything across I-10 and up to I-12 on the east side of the river. The best we’re going to get is an I-10 west of BR to an I-10 south of BR connector.
wonder what it would cost to build and elevated expressway from 12 to the OMB over existing Airline? You could completely avoid the ghetto and what is rapidly becoming ghetto. and bypass the center of BR.

Need some arrow heads and/or a slave cemetery; it’s her only hope.

I'm sure people will have plenty of time to remember the cypress when they are cruising through the loop instead of stuck in BR traffic

If they want to build the bridge there, they will take her land, and she will get appraisers' FMV for it.

? My dad had to fight and hold on to 100 acres in northwest Louisiana and thankfully we still have it. He and my siblings and I had a lot of money thrown at us, nope, land meant too much and was more important than the money. I don’t blame her for not wanting it cut down.
My brother and I own 60 acres in the Florida panhandle that's all old growth forest aside from a few acres of highway frontage. It used to be rural but now there are new clear cut style cheaply built subdivisions all around it.
I couldn't be more content doing absolutely nothing with that land aside from letting some family friends hunt there.

would likely bisect and partially destroy Plaquemine Point
"likely"
"partially"
Key words in there.
Also, seeing stories like this about one bridge in one small area of our country make me think about the odds that the Intracoastal Waterway would get built in today's times
But somehow nature healed and adapted.

Yes, we need a new bridge
Yes, and that doesn't even remotely make what this lady is doing wrong or make her a piece of shite.

The Toyota Leblanc family that is
It's the children of Eugene LeBlanc Sr. that are fighting against that bridge route. They're 3rd (maybe 4th) cousins to the Price LeBlanc family.
It's a very big family so any $ from selling the land would be split 15+ different ways.

Please baby jesus let this be the end result
Every other functional city has built multiple interstate options to bypass the city center, with some even having multiple loops. Why not BTR where traffic issues are already far beyond what they should be considering the major interstate running through town?

There are NO rare cypress forests in around there. What a piece of crap reporting this is.

When the bridge & possible locations were first announced, half of them got tossed out immediately because the route would conflict with environmentally protected areas & they’d never get approval. This route wasn’t so I can’t imagine it’s as sacred & special as this woman makes it out to be. If it were, it would be protected

What are those 2 expecting. To never put new cement on grass or water ever? Something has to give. It has to go somewhere.

What’s enough to lose old growth forests?
Why are old growth forests considered better than new growth? Serious question.

It's always some environmental crap. Next will be some rare anus bug that lives on cypress trees and infects only people with white rubber boots

No dinero. Ideas are free and talk is cheap. Constructions is expensive.
