- Complete the connection to downtown. It needs to be extended to the railroad park (if possible) and back to the west to the pedestrian bridge. I didn't say this, but we need a walkway from downtown to the dorms that is ideal for your average college student who has been drinking that night.
- Get with DOTD to install a roundabout at Tech Drive and Alabama.
- Landscape the hell out of Tech Drive.
- Use a pavement saw to cut landscaping islands for trees in the stadium parking lot.
- RV spots around the lake.
- Convert one of the older dorms that they are looking to decommission into lodging for visitors like Cook Hotel at LSU. Cook hotel may be out of our range, but before that, LSU used a 1940 era building for the same purpose that looked pretty good.
