Between this and the enchanted forest thread… I just wish our founders had had a little more foresight

LSU leadership really needs to flex its power within the city and state governments to get the areas around campus cleaned up. It's embarrassing to bring people to LSU because you have to drive through such dysfunction just outside of campus.

Was going to ask if the driver was under the influence? It appears she may have been.

LSU has a slum lord on its board of supervisors, you think they care?

I would love to know how many people have been killed-through the years-say since 1990-along Nicholson from where Burbank intersects and Brightside intersects.

RIP.

Did they kill the buses?


Don't know. There were no night buses when I was at LSU.

IMNSHO, the buses should run every night even if they have to adjust their schedules for game traffic.

It's a state highway. DOTD has to be involved.

I know a Fonte family in Metairie.

I wonder if this girl is related to them?

This is incredibly sad.

I'm not trying to be a dick, because I've done it before (both being a dick and jaywalking there), but jaywalking across that road is taking a risk, even if it's during the day, and everyone is completely sober.

That’s awful. I’m sorry for your loss. Something similar happened when I was a student at Southeastern in the late 00s when a few students were struck and killed by a drunk driver leaving the bar.

We do understand that governors do not get directly involved with the specific workings of these DOTD projects, right? For example, the Hwy 30 work may have been pitched under JBE or maybe even Jindal.

Yes.
A 21 year old pre dental major.
From the reporting I saw.

Just her legs. Then let her recover, and live blowing through a straw. My initial thoughts of anger, I’m sure at some point I’ll forgive, but it won’t be today.
