View More TopicsComment: My main concern is the impact to the Perkins Road overpass area. I would NOT support any measure that would have a negative impact on such an iconic part of Baton Rouge. Response: Thank you for you comment. Enhancements are being conceptually designed to improve the Perkins Road ramp area.
Comment: Also, I would’ve liked to have seen more information on how the construction of these new elevated lanes will affect local roads and business. The area underneath I-10 where Perkins goes beneath it are a treasure trove of local businesses. I was disappointed to learn that many of those businesses were going to be […]
Comment: Do not do this to our beautiful Perkins overpass and surrounding area. It will forever change the culture and atmosphere. It will add more noise and destroy the current ambience. Response: Thank you for you comment. Enhancements are being conceptually designed to improve the Perkins Road ramp area. Noise walls are proposed along I-10 […]
Comment: I am a Garden District resident, and I think the proposal for a bike path that makes it easier to get from our neighborhood to the part of town including Trader Joe’s, Magpie and Zippys would be a great improvement to our community! This promotes health and will lead to less fuel emission for […]

When the bridge over the Perkins Street business area is replaced, that architectural lighting is placed under the bridge to enhanced the area for parking/walking/ general safety concerns. 2.

Comment: As a resident of the garden district/Perkins road overpass area, I am very concerned with what the areas underneath the I-10 elevated areas will look like, especially the area known as “merchants district,” the area where the Perkins road goes underneath I-10. After reviewing the information on the website, I was disappointed to not […]

Comment: The 1-10 project will effect the one of the areas that make our neighborhood unique and a highly desirable location for families. The SCCA would like to make the following recommendations for the project. I.

Comment: The recommended bicycle connection between Mid-City’s designated bike lanes and the pedestrian-friendly Historic Overpass Area is currently an orange rated route that takes cyclists under the Perkins Road Overpass into a muddy, unlit gulch. The widening of I-10 is our community’s opportunity to create a designated crossing wide enough for bicycles and double-wide strollers. […]
Comment: A way to walk or bike for the homeowners in the Hundred Oaks area to the historic shopping area on the other side of 1-10 would be a great SAFE way for them to get there. Presently, there is no safe way for bikers or strollers. And, personally, that bridge over the train has […]

Comment: The current recommended bike connection between Mid-City and the overpass area takes cyclists under the overpass and is muddy and not well lit. We need a designated crossing wide enough for bicyclists or strollers. A pedestrian bridge could be built from the Rhododendron Avenue intersection over the train tracks and under the interstate. The […]
Comment: 3. Ensuring the area under the new bridge would have connectivity with the businesses in the form of walking/bike paths. Response: The project team is actively working on enhancements for the Perkins Road area and will consider the recommendations provided.

Comment: I am President of the Hollydale Homeowner’s Association for 36 individually owned Condominiums located at 2293 Hollydale Avenue. We will be strongly impacted by the widening of I-10. I don’t understand why the state would want to disrupt a city’s model urban area? Perkins Road Overpass is unique and works so well. Suspect is […]
