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 construction projects.
Response:
DOTD will be replacing trees in accordance with their Significant Tree policy and will replant where, possible in coordination with Baton Rouge Green.
