1 PURPOSE OF AND NEED FOR PROPOSED ACTION

This chapter deals first with the connection of this project to plans at all levels of government. How have changes since 2002 made the conclusions in this chapter suspect or wrong?

It also deals with impacts on traffic and land use. We need to ask how changes in affect the conclusions here. This chapter also deals with land use plans. As an example, the impact of the urban connector on sprawl and development of commuter subdivisions south in Iberia Parish should be considered. This would also be a place to comment on how financing as a toll road which is now being considered would impact traffic projections and future land use impacts.

Finally, this is the chapter that addresses the Airport runway extension. We need to look at deficiencies in the EIS, and significant changes since 2002.
