re: What is going on with this LSU lake project

For once I'm actually going to defend this one. The schedule has been out and publicly available for a couple years now, its not their fault that the public didn't pay attention what they made publicly available. As far as the cost, the lakes are massive and anyone complaining about the cost of the actual construction doesn't work in the engineering or construction industry because those costs are in line with dredging projects
Eta: they have also utilized quite a bit of federal funding for this project through grants and the LWI program. That money doesn't move quick and can often get held up for numerous reasons. No money = no work

Do you think the project is going well and looks good?

What active construction site have you seen that "looks good"? I think the project is going as expected and will look good when it is complete. Thats like driving on a road they're redoing and saying "this road is rough, what a failed project"

They completely closed out May Street with no way to run around the big lake without running extra 2/3 miles around Perkins underpass.
So that’s the reason why your mad? Completely selfish reason and a lame one at that. You can run anywhere. Deal with it.

“The bird sanctuary looks”
Like garbage. They pretty much doubled the size by piling mud all around it.. it extends almost to the teke house now.. looking from lakeshore they turned lakeview houses into swampland view houses.. from the teke side the lakeview now looks like a canal .. they are also piling up mud on existing banks to increase rec area.. but basically reducing footprint of lakes.. ran a small dozer on campus lakes and called it done..
what a disaster.. fwiw there was a time the lakes were pretty much dry and only a few ankle deep pods of water. I could not understand why they did not just get a fleet of bobcats and trim it out..
May end up right but my goodness what a cluster so far.

That is a crap ton of money for dredging. I’d be interested to see what the cost per CY comes out to be.
