The resolution urges the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (DOTD) to adopt a collaborative approach with local political subdivisions to improve communication regarding the status of local projects. It highlights the importance of effective communication between state and local governments to ensure that citizens are informed about road changes and other developments, which can enhance trust in state government. The resolution emphasizes that a lack of information sharing can hinder local governments' ability to function effectively and that involving local entities in the transportation decision-making process can lead to better outcomes and community engagement.
Additionally, the resolution calls for the establishment of a system where state and city officials can efficiently report and address issues affecting public spaces, such as water line leaks and pavement concerns. By fostering collaboration and communication, the resolution aims to minimize community inconvenience during project execution and promote the beautification of Louisiana. It concludes by requesting that a copy of the resolution be sent to the secretary of the DOTD to ensure awareness and action on this matter.
