EBR peeps: looks like some of the MovEBR projects are ready to be initiated

Work on 22 MovEBR projects is expected to begin immediately, city-parish officials announced today, giving a timeline to the top-prioritized slate of more than 50 projects planned for the $1 billion road improvement program.
quote:
Using data gathered from program managers CSRS and Stantec, a 10-member committee also solicited community input to ultimately prioritize 51 MovEBR projects by developing a weighted scoring system based on five criteria: readiness to construct (meaning the project has already advanced into the design and right-of-way process), safety, congestion relief, Complete Streets and quality of life. The committee ranked projects “green,” “blue” or “purple” in terms of their priorities, top to bottom. Moving forward with funding from an initial bond sale, the 22 “green-priority” projects will provide both new capacity and enhancements to major existing roadways, such as Airline Highway, Florida Boulevard, Jones Creek Road, Pecue Lane, College Drive, Harding Boulevard, Groom Road and others. Procurement of design services, purchase of right-of-way and utility relocations will begin immediately for “green priority” projects, with projects identified with an orange shovel icon expected to move into the construction phase within the next 24-36 months.
quote:
Meanwhile, work on 15 “blue priority” projects is expected to start in the next few months, with construction also beginning within the next 24-36 months based on funding availability. As some green priority projects are completed, other blue priority projects could be released in advance.
quote:
Lastly, work on 14 “purple priority” projects will begin as funding becomes available through future bond sales or other funding sources. Some purple priority projects are dependent on others in green- or blue-priority lists being completed first.

A lot of those green projects are roads I drive daily. It's going to suck when they are under construction but will be nice when they are done.

They are also roads that will help relieve issues with LSU FB traffic as well (hopefully)

I like the list. Airline Highway and Pecue Lane will be great help along with the state and feds ponying up for the Pecue diamond.

I for one like that they’re at least getting one of the Nicholson segments started. We need to get ahead of the day a new bridge will actually be constructed. This is of course assuming the bridge crossing will be nearby.

Work to begin "immediately" yet it indicated that 15 of the 22 projects will "be in construction within 24-36 months."
So...which the frick is it? Immediately? Or in 2-3 years?

A lot of that work is around the health district too which needs it badly. Bluebonnet and Essen are still some of the most congested areas of the city although Essen sucks a lot less than it used to.

you know these things have to be designed first, right?
The projects that will begin construction soon have already been designed and have been awaiting funding to continue

I still want to see a widening project (including the removal of a light or two) for Florida from Airline to Denham.

I'll believe it when I see it.

I would be interested in seeing where the green projects fall relative to Baton Rouge / St. George limits and if that impacted their decision which will be moving forward.

Most of the projects are just continuation of GLP1.

How many feasibility studies do they have connecting Ruth’s Chris to SWB’s stomach and the taxpayer’s money?

BR will never remove a light. BR will synchronize them, to ensure drivers have to stop at each one.
