4 years ago we convened a host of partners to develop a plan for transit-oriented development in #NorthBatonRouge. Milestones are still happening. Progress is underway! #imagineplankroad #brt #busrapidtransit

[Sharon Weston Broome @MayorBroome]

I spent my morning traveling along the nine mile stretch of the Bus Rapid Transit Project!

BRT will connect our residents to North Baton Rouge, Downtown, and LSU, serving as the spine of our public transit and a catalyst for economic growth in our city.

When we see investment without a community-centered ... equitable development plan the result is gentrification. Its change at the expense of the people who live there. The way to prevent that is to make equity a priority.”
