The resolution urges the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development to reevaluate and improve the crosswalk located in the 4600 block of North Market Street (LA 1) in Shreveport. This area has been identified as a safety concern due to its proximity to residential neighborhoods, where the highway separates homes from local shops and recreational facilities. Despite previous efforts to address safety through the construction of a crosswalk following a tragic accident, the current placement has led to a pattern of accidents, property damage, and blocked access for residents.

The resolution emphasizes the urgent need for the Department to assess the situation and implement necessary measures to enhance safety for both pedestrians and drivers in the community. It highlights the ongoing risks posed by the improperly placed crosswalk, which has resulted in vehicles crashing into nearby homes and properties. The resolution calls for immediate action to prevent further harm and ensure the well-being of the residents and travelers in the area.
