GOING UP: The first phase of the levee-top bike path will be completed by mid-summer, says project engineer Brad Bokun. Running along River Road from the LSU vet school to Argosy Casino downtown, the two-mile path will have an on-ramp at Skip Bertman Drive, along with a plaza with a drinking fountain, bike racks and benches surrounded by trees and planters. Quality Design and Construction Company is under contract for the project.
