HR 260 Louisiana House · 2025 Regular Session

HIGHWAYS: Urges and requests the Department of Transportation and Development to evaluate and install pedestrian crosswalks at certain intersections along United States Highway 61

This resolution (HR 260) urges Louisiana's Department of Transportation and Development (DOTD) to evaluate and install pedestrian crosswalks at three specific intersections along U.S. Highway 61 in LaPlace: Carrollwood Drive, Belle Point Boulevard, and Belle Terre Boulevard. It directly affects pedestrians, including students, seniors, and shoppers, who use these high-traffic areas near schools, senior facilities, and businesses. The DOTD must complete this evaluation, install crosswalks if recommended, and submit a report to the House Committee on Transportation by August 1, 2026. The resolution does not mandate funding or construction but requests action to improve safety at these named locations.

MODERATE

The bill was converted from a draft House Resolution to its final enrolled version, which standardized the formatting and corrected minor text inconsistencies. The substantive policy content, including the request to install crosswalks and the deadline for the report, remains unchanged.

TECHNICAL

The document header was updated to reflect the 'Enrolled' status, indicating the bill has passed all legislative stages and is ready for signing.

Page numbering and layout were adjusted to match the official enrolled format, removing draft-specific markers.

Minor text inconsistencies were corrected, such as changing 'Airline Highway' to 'United States Highway 61' in several clauses to ensure consistency with the bill's primary subject.

The 'Digest' section, which provides a summary of the bill's intent, was removed as it is not part of the final legal text.
