LAFAYETTE, La. (AP) - Ten public meetings are set over the next two weeks for residents to chime in on an expanded list of design alternatives for Interstate 49 through Lafayette.
The Advocate reports (https://bit.ly/1W1GQIy) the state Department of Transportation and Development is hosting five community meetings beginning Tuesday for residents to learn about and comment on 13 design ideas for the 5.5-mile stretch of I-49 through Lafayette.
Initial plan for the so-called “Lafayette Connector” and 12 possible tweaks that have emerged since planning for the road resumed last year.
The designs are a mix of minor and major changes, from reconsidering the elevation of different sections of the road to removing one or more interchanges.
DOTD has made no decision on which concepts to pursue but is expected to soon begin paring down the list of ideas.
