You mean the same Greenlight Project from the Kip Holden days? For shits sake, I guess they’ll check one of the list at time and follow the plan from 15 years ago

In Kip’s Greenlight Plan voters decided to widen Nicholson from LSU to W Lee/Brightside. Broome has not pushed this along and even though the plan passed in 2005 nothing had been done on this phase of the plan.

Voters passed Broome’s MovEBR plan in 2018. In this plan Nicholson was to be widened from W Lee/Brightside to the parish line. Again, nothing has been done.

It’s been 18 years and two elections; but all we have are maps indicating what might be coming. But really why does this surprise anyone, we have elections in this parish and the outcome doesn’t matter. The politicians and city hall crowd do what they want.

We also have a huge problem in planning and zoning. Developers are allowed to build subdivisions with hundreds of lots and only one exit to a primary artery. There are few developments with a grid pattern which allow residents various methods of egress. The code should make developers plan for entrance/exits depending on the numbers of lots and they should make them provide fir proper turning lanes and lighting at these entrances and exits.
