20 BATON ROUGE AREA FOUNDATION | annual report 2011
civic leadership initiatives futureBR Traffic in the parish is a tangled mess. Streets don’t connect, main thoroughfares are heavily congested, and at rush hour everything comes to a standstill. FutureBR is a way out. With ideas and input from residents, Fregonese Associates has created a new comprehensive plan for the parish. It’s called FutureBR. Think of it as a blueprint for growth over the next three decades. That includes repairing the broken street grid, turning select thoroughfares into destinations and aligning medical centers along Essen Lane and Bluebonnet Boulevard into a crucial health care corridor. The Foundation provided money to review the previous comprehensive plan, which ultimately led to the creation of FutureBR. Parish government adopted the new plan in 2010, and Mayor Kip Holden was set to hire a cabinet-level person to implement it. If we follow the plan, the city will function much better in the coming years, and, among other great benefits, that means fewer traffic jams. 21
