Early planning for the Lake Pontchartrain Causeway included a proposal for building a bridge between Milneburg in New Orleans and Lacombe, with Goose Point being the northern end of the structure.  



One can only imagine what Lacombe would look like today if the causeway had been built to tie into Goose Point.
