House Resolution No. by Representative Dickerson urges the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development to install safety warning signage along the Tickfaw River. The resolution highlights the river's history of boating incidents, including multiple accidents resulting in injuries and fatalities over the past few years. Notably, there have been thirteen reported incidents from 2020 to 2025, with contributing factors such as reckless operation, excessive speed, and operator inexperience.
The resolution emphasizes the need for safety measures to protect boaters and enhance public safety on the Tickfaw River. By requesting the erection of warning signs, the resolution aims to raise awareness of potential hazards and prevent future accidents. A copy of the resolution will be sent to the secretary of the Department of Transportation and Development to ensure that the request is formally acknowledged.
