Loop, loop, loop. I’m sick of hearing about it.
Now my mayor and others have traveled to Texas to eye Texas loops.
The first thing the Baton Rouge entourage will have found out is that Texas, namely Harris County, where I lived for more than nine years, does not wait for an area to become populated and then disrupt thousands of citizens to build a road. The Texans plan ahead, build the roads and let the population move to them.
I’m sorry. I can’t see disrupting so many lives for a loop that maybe should have been built 25 years ago.
We already have roads and interstate highways with their existing rights of way. Let’s upgrade these. Bring them into the 21st century, along with our antiquated traffic light system on our surface streets.
