House Resolution No. by Representative Taylor urges the Department of Transportation and Development to conduct a study on the road conditions at specific intersections with United States Highway 61 in St. John the Baptist Parish. The resolution highlights concerns regarding high accident rates and fatalities at intersections such as Carrollwood Drive, Belle Point Boulevard, and Belle Terre Boulevard. It emphasizes the need for improvements to the highway, which is heavily traveled, aging, and serves as a critical evacuation route. The resolution also points out the necessity for enhancements that would benefit both motorists and pedestrians, including the addition of sidewalks, bicycle lanes, and pedestrian call buttons.

The resolution calls for the Department of Transportation and Development to submit a report detailing its findings on these road conditions to the House Committee on Transportation, Highways, and Public Works by January 3, 2025. It aims to address the safety and accessibility issues faced by the community, particularly in areas with schools, senior living homes, and shopping centers, ultimately seeking to reduce the number of severe accidents and improve overall mobility in the region.
