Just imagine how long it would take to do just the roads
They would’ve have that complete until 2050

Lakeridge is a nice neighborhood in north Baton Rouge. But it's only like 15 houses..... and right in between those two other neighborhoods you mentioned.
Melrose Place isn't too bad, but it's also right over the fence from Melrose East, which is a very bad area.

Wonder if they can be any more vague with that website. No plans displayed that I can find.

Apartments up and down Sherwood plus proximity to shitholes like Blvd De Province have been darkening it.

So either gentrified developments like Rouzan that will price out the poors, or projects with stores.

While they are at it, bring back the Broadmoor Theater and Putt Putt Golf

all window dressing for "housing equity".
Hood coming to a suburb near you - with increased property taxes to pay for the devaluation.

Y'all realize these things are WEF Globalist wet dreams right?
Right?
They want people confined to areas without cars so they can't move. They are prisons designed to allow government to clamp down on individual freedoms like I don't know...free travel and stuff like that.
They want to be slick and call it a 20 minute neighborhood instead of a 15 minute neighborhood so you won't notice I guess.

Their entire plan reeks of Marxism.
The plan is to 'gift' so-called blighted properties to minority so -called entrepreneurs. Who decides which property is blighted? Who decides just what the meaning of blighted is? Do they take someone's property just because of the paint color of the building? Or the dated architecture of the building ? Or the length of time the building has been closed?
What happens when a business owner decides not to give his/her property away for free? If they have been paying property taxes for decades why should they give it away ? All for someone's nightmare of progress?
The plan also calls for building new sidewalks that are 4 to 6 feet wide . Who in their right mind would want to walk down the side of a major highway with tons of traffic traveling at 60 + mph ? Weekend drag racing has been a perennial problem on the section of Florida Blvd east of Cortana.
This is another version of the Government St. Road Diet Abomination and is a thinly disguised property/land grab. It is criminal.

What plan? I see nothing but buzzwords, catch phrases, and platitude. No solid plans are shared on that website.

The State should buy Florida Blvd property now while it’s “relatively cheap” and expand Florida Blvd to six lanes, with no crossovers, creating a bypass from Denham to downtown.
The Florida-Airline exchange should look like the Causeway-I10 exchange in NOLA.
Have overpasses at Sherwood, Flannery, O’Neal, Sharp, Wooddell, Lobdell, Foster and Acadian.
It would fix a ton of traffic problems. And maybe a few neighborhood problems too.

Take a drive along that corridor just around senset this week. Tell me that more than 5% of the people you see walking are worried (or even interested) about a "healthy lifestyle". First "healthy lifestyle" requirement for that 20 minute walk would have to be SURVIVABILITY!
Yeh, let's spend millions of dollars upgrading an area that will be trashed in 3 to 5 years.

This is putting the cart waaaaaaaaaaaay before the horse. No one wants to live nor work in a place full of fricking panhandlers at nearly every corner and drugged out homeless people pausing in their arguments with invisible beings long enough to mumble to you that you should give them money.
Until that's fixed, you're just putting piles of colorful sprinkles over a mound of horse shite. Even if cops just started arresting the ones panhandling in the street (looking at you, crazy, black chick on the southside of Acadian/Florida), it would be an improvement.
At the very least (just infrastructure-wise), Florida from 4th to Foster needs to be 6-laned (which would clear out some dilapidation) and then have that 6-lane expanded from Airline to the parish line (this later part is in their plan). With that, overpasses are needed for at least Acadian and Sherwood, Foster and Sharp rank a close 2nd.

The Baton Rouge Florida Blvd plan
Its good to see they're finally talking about 6 lanes from the Amite River to Airline Hwy..
There's no need to have the elevated highway like they do, with service roads. They need to flatten it, 3 lane it and make right turn only lanes out of the service roads.
Also need to close most of the smaller intersections that have traffic lights, like North little John, McGehee and Broadmoor, and put entrances at those intersections with UTurns every so often like Metairie has on Veterans.
That would alleviate a lot of interstate traffic from LP to downtown BR

I can remember this being discussed decades ago and the main opponents claimed that overpasses create slums/ghettos. I'm not sure of the logic there but at this point so what? I agree that Florida Blvd should have more overpasses and less traffic lights.
