Wasn't that just an introduction of yet another study?

Lol. I'd rather sit in traffic than use public transportation in BR.

The busses are working so great that public transportation has to be the answer.

Why not above ground road ways Similar to the Causeway approach in Metry? Put one along Airline, 190, Seigan, Perkins, Bluebonnet?

They should turn the inside shoulder of I-10 into a toll lane from Downtown to highland. And down I-12 to O'Neal.

Wouldn't this require a multi-parish effort? Baton Rouge mayor can't really do this alone.

Why not just stack the interstate? Add a second level.
