Richard Price Contracting GREEN LIGHT PLAN “As the year 2011 comes to a close, we are now able to look back at some of the extraordinary accomplishments of the Green Light Plan this past year. Twenty-two major road construction projects are now complete in just over four years since the first project broke ground, another five remain under construction across East Baton Rouge Parish, and we continue to make substantial progress towards a completed and drivable Central Thruway. While we don’t know all that lies ahead for us in 2012, one thing remains certain – the Green Light Plan will continue to move forward, and our team will remain hard at work as we open up roadways and bring new projects to construction” - Mayor-President Melvin “Kip” Holden A Look Back at 2011 and a Look Forward to 2012 2011 2012 * 8 Projects Completed in 2011 5 Projects Currently Under Construction • Comite Drive • Staring Lane • Siegen Lane (Anticipated Completion December 2013) • Highland Road • South Harrell’s Ferry Segment 1 • Central Thruway Phase l Paving (Anticipated Completion May 2012) (Florida – Sullivan Bridge) • Central Thruway - Phase 3 Paving • Staring Lane Extension (Frenchtown Road - Greenwell Springs) • Brightside Lane (Anticipated Completion March 2013) • Jones Creek Seg. 3 • Southeast Area Group Project - Beginning • Ford Street work on O’Neal Lane • Stumberg Lane Phase l (Anticipated Completion July 2012) 22 Projects Completed To-Date Right-of-Way Acquisition $482 million in committed Green Land acquisition completed on twenty-nine Light Plan funds through the end projects with over 730 parcels acquired of 2011 through the end of 2011 Projects Anticipated to Reach...
