A recent letter to The Times caused me to wonder if its author, John Glassell, actually lives in Belcher because many of the points presented were either incorrect, deceptive or irrelevant to Shreveport’s transportation infrastructure.
First, I-49 does not connect to Kansas City. The cost to complete the segments around Fort Smith, Arkansas, are estimated at over $500 million. There is no discussion underway about funding construction through the Ouachita Mountains north of Texarkana. Our grandchildren will be unlikely to enjoy the opportunity to drive uninterrupted for some good KC barbecue.
To address Glassell’s specific claims of frightful inconveniences when accessing Shreveport from north Caddo Parish, I drove the two possible routes between I-49 at I-20 and I-49 at I-220.
