A House-approved resolution to create a panel to find a solution to Baton Rouge’s horrible traffic problems flew through a Senate committee. The Capital City is plagued with rush hour gridlock, and Baton Rouge Representative Steve Carter says the sponsor of the measure was inspired to bring forth the legislation after one too many bumper to bumper trips through BR.
Carter says the city is already looking into innovative options to curb excessive traffic, such as a compressed work schedule.
The panel will be comprised of DOTD, Workforce Commision, and LSU Board of Supervisor members.
