re: The Baton Rouge Florida Blvd plan, what genius thinks this will work

I think an overlay district that dismantles old abandoned signs, improves lighting, sidewalk, street pavement, landscaping, etc. would significantly help. Zoning to improve signage and aesthetic quality of new developments would also help. Honestly they need to do that across every city and town in Louisiana.

The new Rouses looks really nice, and I'm actually impressed with how the old Broadmoor shopping center is turning out. The new ALDI will likely be very nice as well. Looks like some big new DC's are going up behind Amazon in the Tom Drive area too. There's clearly been a lot of private development accompanying the massive Amazon center, but the city and state have largely ignored everything in their right of way. The city/parish and state need to get their shite together to keep this trend going. Stop talking about it and start doing it.

Thank God for Keep Tigertown Beautiful.
