you don't have to worry about losing business where the loop goes. Every exit on the loop will explode with businesses and gaudy, overpriced apartments. Not to mention, all the Wal~marts and starbucks. What will happen is that the city will spread out like a disease, causing the older neighborhoods to deteriorate. I hope that CCLA and Corporate will become ghettos like where Sunny lives...

CCLA lost its chance to be the ghetto when Master P moved out.

You call that a loop? It looks like a maze to me.

One only has to look at the peak traffic times to understand that the traffic problem is the result of growth in the downtown businesses area. It's the same old problem, elected officals continue to push the revitalization of the downtown area without serious consideration to the impact it has on the exsisting infastructure! The drive to bring more business and people into the downtown Baton Rouge area has slowly impacted a interstate system has been strained for years. Inner city toll roads should be considered to solve a problem that the commerce sector of Baton Rouge has created and continues to stimulate. Lets not push a Baton Rouge problem on the surrounding parishes. I certainly hope our elected officals place their own agendas aside and work together to spend taxpayers money on a project that all Louisianain's can be proud of!

Glad for everyone that is welcoming the loop. Don't get me wrong I want it too, but I learned today that they more than likely will take my house that was just completed in July. I have all of my savings in this house, and I have a 50-50 chance of loosing it. If you think they will pay me what it is worth before they take it you are mistaken.

Where would you put inner city toll roads? I can't find anywhere that that would fit on a map?

And where is your house that they are going to drive right through? I've seen the map and there is not a place where the road is decided. The two small areas that have been narrowed down to one route is still a swatch one mile wide, so unless your home is a mile wide, please sit down and quit trying to work up others. They really aren't out to get you.

Without being too specific, could you tell us where you live that you think this will happen?

Inner city toll roads?

People are fleeing this city while driving is still free. If you start charging we are all screwed.
