What do you propose to fix this?
After your suggestion of widening I-12 and 190, adding changable lanes to allieviate the commuter traffic, what next?

10 years later those will be congested, and no room to widen. Magnolia Bridge will have the same problem from the inflow of new residents in that area. How do we plan for the future when you have used up all the right of way on the interstate and US 190 and now have no room to expand, and the necessary parcels of land we could have gotten now for a loop become neighborhoods?

It takes 16 months for a developer to build a neighboorhood, but almost 10 years to build the infrastucture to fix the traffic it causes. Do you propose to do a "quick fix" to save you 10 minutes of drive time that results in more delays as volume builds or do you want a fix that will remove most of the trucking traffic and a good bit of the other cars from the interstate with room in the future to still expand?
