As a member of the Baton Rouge Green Board, I am writing to implore LADOTD to account for and replace all trees removed during the I-10 widening project. This should be done at the ratio of 3:1 in order to recover the loss of the service of these trees provide both environmentally and ecologically. Those roadside trees and green infrastructure are crucial and valuable to me.
Response:
DOTD will be replacing trees in accordance with their Significant Tree policy and will replant where, possible in coordination with Baton Rouge Green.
