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 project developments, which can enhance trust in state government. The resolution emphasizes that incorporating local government and public involvement in the transportation decision-making process will lead to better planning, informed decisions, and ultimately, a more cohesive working relationship between state and local entities.
Additionally, the resolution calls for timely reporting of issues such as water line leaks and pavement concerns to minimize community inconvenience and promote the beautification of public spaces. By fostering collaboration and communication between state and city officials, the resolution aims to ensure that local governments can effectively address issues and deliver projects with less disruption to the community. A copy of the resolution will be sent to the secretary of the DOTD to facilitate this initiative.
