The city of BR needs us to weigh in about Government Street.

Turn them into those little library boxes. Everyone loves those.

Get Gravy on the phone

He is always a solid voice of reason

I like the road diet with the center turn lane, but do not like the flower beds in the middle

What, was was the $15 mill they spent for use studies incorrect ?

Raiford is an absolute joke.

He has been on the EBR payroll for 40 + years, and was appointed by his daddy.

I know it’s an unpopular opinion here, but the new arrangement is actually helping traffic counts and has reduced accident counts. The street is much easier to drive than before, save for when the three area high schools and one grammar school let out in the afternoon. That was always a cluster.

The flower beds would be better off with something else planted, but lots of cities have these.

Here’s my idea Fred: assign DPW employees to certain areas of the city. It will be incumbent on those employees to notice, maintain, and repair issues like this promptly and with city resources already available.

If the responsible party can’t get the job done, then they should be fired or demoted. If they do properly maintain or improve their area by objective measures, then they get bonuses or promoted.

This way, a small crew would have autonomy to repair the curbs and small items of disrepair without the red tape and the finger pointing.

This project is a great example of when Karens and bike Nazis get the ear of influential politicians. DOTD and the City didn't want the project, they were told to do the project.

They need to build an interstate extension along the Florida Blvd corridor from the bridge out to Airline Hwy and tie into I-12.

IT would take a ton of traffic off surface streets thru BR and if done correctly, it would eliminate the current bridge bottleneck issues and lessen I-10 traffic from the bridge to the 10/12 split.

But nahhhh, its too hard to do a few miles of public domain shite along an existing highway easement. Instead lets buy NEW property and build a brand new 50 mile highway thru cane fields from Grosse Tete to St Gabriel with a bridge in the metropolis of White Castle.

A circle at North Blvd and N Foster would facilitate North Blvd access to and from Florida Blvd to create a more streamlined East/West corridor.
