House Bill No. by Representative Walters designates a portion of Louisiana Highway 173, specifically from Elder Street and North Holtzman Avenue to Common Street in Shreveport, Caddo Parish, as the "Dr. Harry Blake, Sr. Memorial Highway." This designation honors Dr. Harry Blake, Sr. and aims to recognize his contributions to the community.

The bill also mandates that the Department of Transportation and Development (DOTD) is responsible for erecting and maintaining appropriate signage that reflects this new designation. However, the implementation of this signage is contingent upon the receipt of local or private funds that cover the DOTD's actual costs for materials, fabrication, mounting posts, and installation, with a cap of $750 per sign.
