Comment: Please budget for the replacement of any trees destroyed during the interstate 10 widening project. It is wonderful DOTD has developed a place to ease our traffic woes.

Comment: The trees planted by Baton Rouge Green over the past 20 years along the Interstate system in Baton Rouge are the only thing that sets Baton Rouge apart when it comes to beautification seen by thousands of people daily. I encourage DOTD to make every effort to preserve these now-mature trees in the upcoming […]

Accordingly, funds must be included by LADOTD in its project budget for the replacement of all present trees that will be removed during the I-10 Widening project! Additional landscaping also should be provided where appropriate to […]

Comment: 5. Increase traffic thru our city leading to increased delays caused by accidents, etc., as well as increased use of public resources such as EMS/Fire/Police when these accidents occur. Diverting the non local traffic via a loop or making one lane of our interstate an HOV lane during high traffic hours to encourage carpooling […]
Comment: The impact to business and the community of widening this major corridor cannot be overestimated! The daily travel time, the accidents, the lost work time due to the excessive travel time in and out of the city all add up to costs for business and a less desirable community to live in.Trying to hire […]
Comment: Oh, by the way, how about if we take a course — or whoever is doing the synchronization of the lights, is not doing their job. Did they — where did they go to school? Because all over the city, the lights don’t synchronize, not just in certain areas and certain other — all […]
