Episode Details

Baton Rouge’s Garden District residents are fed up with repeated flooding that’s swamped homes and streets—sometimes three times a year—and even led to cars being towed from submerged streets. City officials admit aging drainage systems and erratic weather are overwhelming the infrastructure, with funding shortages standing as the biggest roadblock. Residents like Khanh Ho, who’s endured multiple floods, demand urgent upgrades, including $10.3 million to reroute water to Dawson Creek and $4.37 million to replace culverts with bridges. Though no immediate fixes were announced at the town hall, organizers see the meeting as a vital step toward accountability and progress.
