Bill > HB620

This bill establishes specific procedures for the Caddo Parish School Board to address traffic congestion and safety concerns in neighborhoods surrounding Caddo Middle Magnet and Eden Gardens Elementary schools in Shreveport, Louisiana. The bill requires the school board to develop comprehensive solutions that include restricting traffic on 21 specific neighborhood streets during school drop-off and pick-up times, implementing transfer drop-off locations (such as using the fairgrounds for busing), and prohibiting parents from circling parking lots during these times. The legislation mandates that parents must drop off children directly in front of the school in designated areas to ensure safety and maintain traffic flow. Additionally, the bill requires the Department of Transportation and Development to collaborate with local traffic engineers and the Northwest Louisiana Council of Governments to create meaningful, permanent solutions to public safety and traffic problems in these school neighborhoods. The act will become effective upon the governor's signature or after the standard legislative review process.
