House Resolution No. by Representative Taylor urges the Department of Transportation and Development to study the potential benefits of connecting West 10th Street in Reserve, Louisiana, to Interstate 10. The resolution highlights the significance of West 10th Street, which serves as a vital route for numerous commercial businesses and transportation hubs, including the Port of South Louisiana and the Illinois Central Railroad. Currently, travelers must rely on United States Highway 61 and Louisiana Highway 44 to access Interstate 10, leading to traffic congestion that affects local residents and businesses.

The resolution emphasizes that establishing a direct connection from West 10th Street to Interstate 10 could alleviate this congestion, enhance accessibility, and stimulate the local economy by increasing traffic and visibility for businesses. It calls for the Department of Transportation and Development to conduct a thorough study and report its findings to the House Committee on Transportation, Highways and Public Works by November 1, 2025. A copy of the resolution will also be sent to the secretary of the Department of Transportation and Development.
