BIKE AND PEDESTRIAN PATHWAY
New bicycle boulevards and sidewalks connecting the Downtown Greenway to the Government Street bike lanes, along Louisiana Avenue and Eddie Robinson Sr. Dr., are near completion. This project is phase two of the Louisiana Avenue Connector, phase one completed earlier last year under Interstate 110. This new infrastructure now connects the core of downtown to the neighborhoods of Mid-City, Beauregard Town, South Baton Rouge, and Downtown East.

The Downtown Greenway project is spearheaded by the Downtown Development District and is a 2.75-mile interconnected network of bike/pedestrian pathways connecting Baton Rouge's public parks and recreational facilities, inner city communities, and cultural attractions through the use of greenways, or linear parks. Approximately 1.75 miles have been completed.
