Senate Resolution No. urges the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development to support the University of New Orleans Transportation Institute (UNOTI) in conducting a planning study for the South Claiborne Avenue Link Development project. This project aims to enhance accessibility, safety, and economic development along the South Claiborne Avenue corridor by creating a dedicated bike and pedestrian path. The first phase of the project will connect key intersections, improving mobility for residents and linking significant destinations such as the Superdome and Smoothie King Center.

The resolution emphasizes the need for a comprehensive planning study to assess technical specifications, engage local communities, estimate costs, identify funding sources, and develop maintenance strategies. It highlights UNOTI's qualifications as Louisiana's only Tier I University Transportation Center, noting its previous successful research in bike and pedestrian path development. The resolution also mandates that UNOTI report its findings and recommendations to the Senate Committee on Transportation, Highways and Public Works within a specified timeframe.
