IMO- the engineers deserve recognition for developing an alternative solution that pushed the boundaries of initial plans. Hopefully they implement some access management solutions, close several drives, and re-route traffic to the intersections. This corridor is oversaturated with access now.


I like the whole concept, cant wait to see it completed, would be REAL nice if it was done before I-10 widening, though we all know that's a stretch.

The MoveBR signs have been up on College since 2019 and are already all faded and shite.

Still lots of room for Charger donuts. Need traffic circles to eliminate the intersections.

I don’t see how this changes anything. They aren’t adding any lanes to college drive, just widening the current lanes. All they are doing is putting an actually road behind chic-fil-a and an actual road by Walmart. Anyone from around the area already uses those areas to cut through.

This is a band aid on a gunshot wound.

It would be great if a plan could separate local traffic from the traffic that is accessing or exiting I-10 in this area.

Hammer meet nail.

We have very few flyovers or underpasses to travel from one side of the interstate to the other. Thus means that vehicles crossing the interstate have to compete with vehicles entering and exiting the interstate.

We need more flyovers like the Narin overpass and underpasses like the one at Cedarcrest. College, and Sherwood are two poorly planned arteries. Essen at 10 is also bad. Acadian isn’t good.
