Mayor-President Sharon Weston Broome and the MovEBR team are kicking off the MovEBR Transportation and Infrastructure Improvements Program.
The kickoff will launch the program’s website, and residents can learn how the program will be implemented in the coming years. The meeting is slated for Monday, Sept. 23 at 5:30 p.m. at BRCC’s McKay Automotive Technology Center, located at 2115 N Lobdell Blvd.
The MovEBR Infrastructure Enhancement and Traffic Mitigation Plan is the transportation infrastructure investment plan in East Baton Rouge Parish. City leaders say the plan aims to relieve traffic congestion in Baton Rouge, Baker, Zachary, and Central.
The half-cent sales tax proposition was approved by the voters Dec. 8, 2018. The tax became effective April 1, 2019, and will continue for 30 years, until March 31, 2049, raising around $1 billion.

Two consulting firms have been selected to manage the projects. CSRS will tackle about $800 million in capacity projects while Stantec will take on nearly $300 million in cosmetic changes.
One of the improvements include widening Airline Highway in East Baton Rouge Parish by one lane in either direction. Another big one is the widening of Nicholson Drive between LSU and the parish line. Hooper Road and Pecue Lane will both also be widened to 4 lanes (with median and lighting).

Also on the list are upgrades to aesthetics for Plank Road and Florida Blvd.

I'm surprised it's not 5 lanes all the way out to O'Neal by now. There's also a project to widen Flannery, so they have to widen Millerville ASAP.

If this piece of shite racist woman is re-elected, Baton Rouge is even more doomed than I thought.
She has unraveled anything good that Kip did to unify the city.

Oh so it started but not really.
We launched a website and we're having a community meeting.
Sounds about right.

9 months and nothing in that announcement seems to indicate they are doing a damn thing. Get back to me when a shovel hits some dirt. And not one of those gold-plated shovels that politicians use for ground breaking.

She'll probably get re-elected. EBRP is close to 50/50 black/white. 95+% of black people will vote for her along with a certain percentage of white people.

She’s unifying a city all right... St George.

I see the mythical Jones Creek Rd extension past Tiger Bend is on there.
I'll believe it when I see it.

Finally starting? It sounds like they are having a launch party for their website
Posted on 9/23/19 at 5:27 pm to Ed Osteen
But is it fully catered?

Ain't that the truth.
She wants to blame everyone else, but the driving force for St. George is her.
