less congested and allowing for safer travel on the road; and

WHEREAS, LA-3064 North and South have one turning lane and two straight lanes;
and
WHEREAS, the intersections located at South Essen and Perkins Road are some of
the busiest intersections in Baton Rouge during certain times of the day; and
WHEREAS, the flow of traffic would be more efficient in these areas if the spaces
between the median had the same amount of lanes; and

eliminate potential conflicts; and
WHEREAS, the additional space is needed to create uniform lanes to alleviate traffic
congestion.
