Widening I-12 by going to six lanes from Livingston to Baton Rouge, and widening Hwy. 190 to four/six lanes over the same stretch would obviously carry at least twice the commuter traffic load into and out of Baton Rouge every day. Our primary traffic problem occurs westbound in the mornings and eastbound in the evenings. This traffic comes from the Denham Springs and Walker areas. No one from these areas is going to use a loop north to Baker or south to Donaldsonville to go downtown and back. And no one has a legitimate gripe if an existing roadway truly needs to be widened. Hwy. 190, for instance, is a U. S. highway, and it is two lanes from Denham Springs to Covington. Does that make any sense?
