A year ago, I was on a Sunday evening cruise around Lafayette with a friend. Being a passenger allowed me to take in my surroundings and notice things that I normally don’t when I’m driving. As we were riding down Ambassador Caffery between the Bertrand split and I-10, I saw the overgrown grass in the median, the torn up shoulder, and numerous potholes. I thought to myself, “they should really do something about this.” It was at that moment that I had an epiphany.
