The resolution urges the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (DOTD) to adopt a collaborative approach with local political subdivisions to enhance communication regarding the status of local projects. It emphasizes the importance of effective communication between state and local governments to prevent silos that can lead to misunderstandings and a lack of trust among citizens. By involving local governments and the public in the transportation decision-making process, the resolution aims to improve project outcomes, ensure that citizens are informed about road changes, and promote the beautification of public spaces.
Additionally, the resolution highlights the need for timely reporting of issues such as water line leaks and pavement concerns to minimize community inconvenience. It calls for a cohesive working relationship between state and local entities to address problems efficiently and enhance the overall effectiveness of local projects. The resolution concludes by requesting that a copy be sent to the secretary of the DOTD to ensure awareness and action on this collaborative initiative.
