Who wants to cross the causeway daily at 6 bucks a pop?


It’s gotten big enough up there that many don’t have to anymore. Census bureau made it its own metro area recently. Not enough people are commuting south anymore for it to be considered part of the New Orleans metro by the more official definitions.

Good, too much congestion, flooding etc


While I am not arguing for or against any side of this. I do know that the drainage requirements for new developments within the parish are relatively aggressive compared to neighboring parishes. The biggest one being the reduction in stormwater runoff from pre-developed state to the post developed state of the property. This typically includes a detention pond that will collect/hold rain water and slowly release it at a desired flow rate that is less than the pre-developed site runoff flow rate. So "in theory", these new developments "should" improve the drainage in their respective drainage basins. Are these developments always built to spec? no. That's why I say "in theory".

Nerd out.

A drive through Covington will show you its sorta looking dumpy in places. Plenty of Nissans and Kias. St Tammany should be very proud.

Demographic have definitely shifted there. If I lived in the North Shore, my kids would be going to Catholic school elementary school and then St Paul’s.

We must not be driving on the same roads.

- Hwy 21
- Most of 1085
- Judge Tanner Blvd
- 190 BUS
- S. Tyler st
- 190
- Judge Tanner Blvd
- Hwy 190 E Service Rd
- Hwy 190 W Service Rd
- Hwy 434

And my favorite, because I drive it daily, are the Pinnacle Pkwy and Brewster Rd exits/on ramps on I-12.

I can keep going if needed.

I'm currently waiting on "southern washington parish is the place to be, especially with hwy 3241. 4 lanes straight to the interstate. You can be at St Tammany hospital in 25 minutes. Mandeville in 30. Taxes are cheap. Bogalusa has this great Mexican place called Marias. I rarely even smell the papermill, not sure what the big fuss is. Kids can still go to St Tammany
schools. It's quiet up this way".


I agree with everything except for the Bogalusa part, Franklinton has two Mexican restaurants that are better than what Marias is currently, not what it was 20 years ago. There’s only so much land once you cross that lake, and it’s just a matter of time before that enters Washington Parish. I’m 45 and God willing I make it another 40 years Washington Parish will look completely different than it did in 1980.

Glad to see more & more residents pushing back on these developments.

Yep, St. Tammany is sleazy in other ways that don't really affect public safety.


Are we supposed to figure those out or do we read you mind?

here is an idea - list them.

Good. The place is a cesspool compared to pre-K and getting worse.

The 05 post Katrina wave started the decline. It’s gone downhill every year since.

South of town is going to grow with the new highway. It's just a logistical fact.

Damn, you must really hate Judge Tanner if you had to list it twice.

That light and the stop sign where it meets 190 does kind of suck, but it's not the worst thing traffic wise.

59 belongs on this list before half these roads.

Kia is booming as a brand. Kia of Covington is selling over 300 new cars a month and is the top car dealer by volume of any brand in La.
