To whom it may concern. I am in support of the overall project and realize that some times you must give to get and there will be impacted areas of the road work. I do ask that DOTD take in consideration of the existing trees and overall esthetics of the road project. The trees are a great asset to DOTD and the commuters of the road. The cost to plant a new tree is nothing when looked at the true dollars they can save in the long run. DOTD could even turn this in to a revenue center with producing air quality tax credits and selling them.
Response:
DOTD will be replacing trees in accordance with their Significant Tree policy and will replant where, possible in coordination with Baton Rouge Green.
