I made this in 5 minutes. frick them. Upgrading Airline into an "inner loop" is so short sighted. It needs to extend farther

doesn't sound like complete doom and gloom. sounds like they're looking to improve the one-lane split first. that seems like the right approach--improve the split, then think about the loop.


What blows my mind is why this wasn't item #1 on the RFP.

Need I remind you... that the reason the loop plan is back on the table is because the one-lane issue was set aside... These fricks go back and forth... loop study... widen bridge study.... loop study.... second bridge study... loop study...

The cottage industry of impact studies in Baton Rouge must be fricking lucrative. They study plenty of shite all the time. Never act on it. But damn it gets studied.

Sure, no reason to deviate from the half-assed piecemeal approach we've employed on this stuff for the past 40 odd years now, is there?

So your plan is to send a interstate through the middle of the most eco-sensitive areas in the 4 parishes.

I'll sit back and see how that works. Dumbass.

I-55 heads through one of the most eco sensitive areas in the state from Hammond to LaPlace... what's your point?

It was built in the 70s. Little different climate 50 years later.

We should take a poll and see if people care more about "eco-sensitive" areas than they do their daily commute.

Unfortunately, those decisions don't come to a vote.

That particular loop plan was completely idiotic anyway.
