Bill Summary

A RESOLUTION To urge and request the Department of Transportation and Development to study and take measures on the benefits of connecting West 10th Street in Reserve, Louisiana, to Interstate 10 to relieve traffic congestion.

AI Summary

This resolution urges the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (DOTD) to conduct a study on the potential benefits of connecting West 10th Street in Reserve, Louisiana, to Interstate 10. The resolution highlights the strategic importance of West 10th Street, which is home to major transportation infrastructure like the Port of South Louisiana and the Illinois Central Railroad, and hosts numerous commercial businesses such as Baumer Foods, Marathon Petroleum, and others. The proposed connection aims to address traffic congestion issues by providing a more direct route, potentially reducing the current need for travelers to use US Highway 61 and Louisiana Highway 44 to access Interstate 10. The resolution requests that the DOTD submit a detailed report of its findings to the House Committee on Transportation, Highways and Public Works by November 1, 2025, and that a copy of the resolution be transmitted to the department's secretary. The underlying motivation is to improve local economic opportunities, enhance accessibility for residents and businesses, and reduce freight congestion in the Reserve area.
