HIGHWAYS: Urges and requests the Department of Transportation and Development to study road conditions on particular highways that intersect with United States Highway 61 in St. John the Baptist Parish

This resolution asks the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development to investigate road safety issues at specific intersections along U.S. Highway 61 in St. John the Baptist Parish. The request focuses on areas with high accident rates, such as Carrollwood Drive, Belle Point Boulevard, and Belle Terre Boulevard, where aging infrastructure and traffic conflicts have led to fatalities. The study aims to evaluate the need for improvements like better lighting, pedestrian crossings, and sidewalk or bicycle lanes to enhance safety for drivers and walkers. If the department finds problems, it must submit a report of its findings to the state legislature by January 3, 2025.
