Dawson Creek in Baton Rouge will be realigned
LINK
BATON ROUGE - A section of Dawson Creek near the Mall of Louisiana will be straightened and expanded as part of a development in that area. The East Baton Rouge Planning and Zoning Commission approved the plan Monday with work to begin early next year.
The project, the Grove, will expand an existing mixed-use development by building hundreds of townhouses, hotel rooms, and commercial space. Final approval on the plan was delayed 30 days last month so developers could better explain the project to nearby residents.
"Especially if it's going to be in an area around a waterway considering what went through in 2016, people are going to be hesitant," said Metro Councilman Matt Watson, who supports the development but requested the initial delay.
The realignment of Dawson Creek will expand water storage capacity for that section by three times according to developers. Work on the creek could last six months.

Keep in mind that this is happening to make room for hotels and office buildings, but we can't get a diversion canal built after 18 years of being taxed to fund it.

I do love our government and how accountable they are with our tax monies. I'm really glad EBR Parish voted to fund a 0.5¢ sales tax that is in effect for THIRTY frickING YEARS.

Who is paying for the realignment? The developer or the parish? And what is the cost difference between the two projects?

we're surprised how quickly the private industry works compared to government? they came up with the money so fast b/c the private client is paying for it, not the public.

As a kid living by Catholic High I threw a bottle with a note in it into Dawson Creek.
Guess what?
No one ever found the note and called me back!!!
