The resolution urges the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development to conduct a study on the conditions of Louisiana Highway 44 in Reserve, Louisiana, with the aim of adding sidewalks. It highlights the lack of sidewalks along the highway and the elevated piped bridge, which poses safety hazards for both motorists and pedestrians. The resolution emphasizes the need for improved infrastructure in rural communities like Reserve, where accessing state and federal funds for such projects has been challenging. It also points out the highway's heavy traffic, particularly during peak hours, and the benefits of adding sidewalks, including enhanced safety, mobility, and healthier communities.

Furthermore, the resolution notes that the addition of sidewalks would help reduce pedestrian accidents and provide a safe space for walking, running, or jogging. It references guidelines from the Federal Highway Administration that recommend accessible sidewalks in urban areas and walkable shoulders in less developed areas. The resolution calls for the Department of Transportation and Development to submit a report on its findings to the relevant legislative committees by August 1, 2025, and requests that a copy of the resolution be sent to the department's secretary.
