House Bill No. 148, introduced by Representative Bagley, designates a specific portion of Louisiana Highway 5 in Logansport, DeSoto Parish, as the "Eugene Washington Memorial Highway." This designation applies to the segment of the highway located between United States Highway 84 and Louisiana Highway 3015.
The bill also mandates that the Department of Transportation and Development (DOTD) is responsible for erecting and maintaining the appropriate signage to reflect this new designation. However, this action is contingent upon the receipt of local or private funds that cover the DOTD's actual costs for materials, fabrication, mounting posts, and installation of the signage, with a maximum expenditure of $750 per sign.
