When the MOVEBR program kicked off, Mayor-President Sharon Weston Broome prioritized the traffic signal projects to help relieve congestion on surface streets as the I-10 widening project got underway. Thanks to the voters of East Baton Rouge Parish, the MOVEBR program included projects to build one of the most connected traffic signal systems in the country managed with the latest technology. After decades of piecemeal funding to connect our signals with fiber-optic cable so they can be managed from a central advanced traffic management center, the MOVEBR program has finished the job.

The MOVEBR Program hosted a ribbon-cutting on the South Choctaw Drive (Flannery – Central Thruway) Project to increase roadway capacity with the goal of reducing congestion, providing accommodations for pedestrians and cyclists and reducing local flooding with the use of pervious sidewalks. You can read more about the South Choctaw (Flannery – Central Thruway) ribbon cutting here.

Residents of the Broadmoor neighborhood started arriving early at an open house held at Broadmoor United Methodist Church, excited to see designs for improvements to the Sharp Road Corridor. This project includes a multiuse path on the east side of Sharp Road along with intersection improvements at various locations, including a roundabout at the intersection of Sharp Road and Mollylea Drive where the church is located.
