We remain VERY concerned about the effects of the widening of I-10/I-12. Removing hundreds of trees, with no plan to replace them, is irresponsible: Doing so will adversely affect drainage and potential flooding and will also increase the noise issue. Also problematic is your failure to plan for noise mitigation.
If you do not address these issues, we shall contact our congressional representative.
Response:
DOTD will be replacing trees in accordance with their Significant Tree policy and will replant where, possible in coordination with Baton Rouge Green. Relative to noise, proposed locations for noise barriers are located on the project roll maps/aerial exhibits that were available for review during the meeting and are located on the project website at www.i10br.com.
