oh and FYI do you not realize that alot of people in baton rouge are traveling to our area to go to work everyday and we have trafiic issues too how will this help us with our traffic problems i do not go to baton rouge to work i work here localy so i dont have to travel to baton rouge and where on earth will they move us in the st amant area when there isnt any vacant land available and as for the gaudy subdivisions they mostly consist of people that moved out of baton rouge to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city life

You Are A Suburb Of Baton Rouge. We Became Your Problem When Ascension Parish Built Those Gaudy Subdivisions.

We Don't Want To Take Your Land Because We Have Run Out Of Things To Do In Br, We Do It To Help You People That Go To Our Town To Work Get There In Less Than An Hour!!!!!

The Gaudy Subdivisions you are talking about are people moving out of Baton Rouge to get a better education. Seems like Baton Rouge should worry about putting the money in there school system instead of worring about a loop. There are alot of other options to get people to work in less than an hour. FYI I would rather live in a gaudy subdivisions than a crappy apartment like you

I Also Have The Nimbys. It Is Very Contagious. When I Show The Corridors Map To People In My Area They Also Get The Mimbys. We Are Very Determined To Stop This Loop, By Fighting With All Our Might. All Of Our Land Together Will Cover The 2.5 Mile Area. Nimby, Nimby, Nimby

solutions to the BATON ROUGE traffic problem

That's a pretty shortsighted take on the situation. Considering how many people commute to BR for work from adjacent smaller towns, calling it BATON ROUGE's traffic problem is really audacious.

more area for drug runners to travel more crime

Seriously...do you realize how ridiculous you sound?

no what i feel is ridiculous is that no one can answer what good will this do for ascension parish. do you not realize that alot of people drive from baton rouge to ascension parish to work everyday ? if we have this loop it will cause more traffic problems in our area. who will relieve our traffic problems once we are in grid lock from all this ?refer to perma link 11 this is the kind of situation we are trying to prevent do you realy want to have all this in your backyard ? why not petition to have this put in your neighborhood all we are asking for is another solution we dont wanna see anyones home taken there are other solutions so why not look into this why uproot families that have been here for over 100 yrs and as far as for the crime situation as of right now we can leave our windows open and sleep well if this is brought into our area who will gaurentee our safety with the shortage of police officers in our area who will step up and protect us and our children do you have a gaurentee that this loop will solve all traffic problems or will this be another waste of our tax payers dollars why cant we put this to a vote in each parish why does this have to be shoved down our throats this is very unfare but you or anyone may not understand the value of family we have lived here all our lives we chose to live this way why is that so hard to understand why do you all consider this as being selfish

if we have this loop it will cause more traffic problems in our area. who will relieve our traffic problems once we are in grid lock from all this ?

That would have been much easier to read if you had thrown in a few periods... How is the loop going to put more traffic in your area? They're not just going to toss all the traffic from I-10 to existing surface streets in your area. New roads will be built to accomplish this alternate route. We're talking about the same amount of traffic, just split into two groups. With a loop, the traffic whose destination is beyond BR has the option of bypassing the middle of the city and coming out on the other side. If nothing else, it will help those who make the Ascension-BR commute easier. And remember, this isn't being considered as an alternative to improvements/widening to I-10/I-12. The necessity of those improvements are realized, and currently being addressed. One or the other isn't going to solve all the problems. Both 10/12 improvements and a Loop are projects that are long overdue. Most major cities have a loop(s). It makes sense. If you have a better solution, by all means...let's hear it.

Oh, and using crime as an excuse to not build a loop is asinine. They're not planning a parolee drop-off in your neighborhood. It's a freakin road. Your "Interstate Loop = Felonious Freeway" analogy is just ridiculous.

Let me guess, you have nothing to lose with this loop being built. I can tell it does not effect you. There are lots of other options like a double decker interstates and widen airling hwy just for a few. If your home and land was at risk of being lost you would feel the same way. You can say what ever you want but in will increase crime because it will put more traffic in our area.

(Oh, and using crime as an excuse to not build a loop is asinine) you are entitled to ur opinion and to consider this as asinine, shows how family oriented you are i could give two hoots about this freakin loop .we dont want this loop here and we will fight to make sure it doesnt pass . our family and many others have been in this area for more then 100 yrs why should we give up what we have and have worked for all our lives .a petition will soon be in circulation to ensure that we have a voice in this matter.

Widening Airline hwy is getting done too. The double decker interstate is more costly then anything else.
Another reason that this loop is coming to fruition before the other roads get widened is because most (if not all) of the loop is federal money and public /private partnerships (Read: tolls). those other projects are DOTD and with a $14 BILLION backlog, Ascension parish will have the sprawl of Baton Rouge before DOTD gets the money to upgrade the necessary roads.

Your parish president is excited about the coming loop.

Just because you are a landowner for 100+ years doesn't mean yours is the only voice on this.

This loop will help people living in Ascension traveling to Baton Rouge who currently have an hour commute.

So it appears that the unregistered member here who doesn't want the loop to pass through St. Amant enjoys taking a 2 lane road with traffic lights every mile to work? I dont care where you live, traffic lights at rush hour mean TRAFFIC. You would rather navigate 20 traffic lights and school zones than to hop on the expressway for a non-stop commute to and from work? You seem to think all the loop is going to do is put all of the Baton Rouge traffic in St. Amant. How is that physically possible? Its just going to give people passing through another route to take to avoid the Baton Rouge commuter traffic. No one from Baton Rouge is going to leave Baton Rouge, head over to Gonzales and St. Amant, clog up your commute then 'loop' back around to Baton Rouge for work.
