Regular Session, 2010 ENROLLED
SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTI ON NO. 103
BY SENATOR ERDEY
A CONCURRENT RESOLUTI ON
To urge and request the Department of Transportation and Development to study the
feasability of installing paved highway shoulders with bicycle paths along that
portion of US Highway 190 between the town of Livingston and the city of Denham
Springs in Livingston Parish.
WHEREAS, inadequate shoulders on US Highway 190 between the town of
Livingston and the city of Denham Springs in Livingston Parish have caused numerous
vehicular accidents and prevented motor vehicles from utilizing the shoulder to avoid these
accidents, causing wrecked motor vehicles to be towed or otherwise removed from the
roadway because of the lack of highway shoulders; and
WHEREAS, vehicle breakdowns on a highway lacking a highway shoulder create
a strong possibility of accidents; and
WHEREAS, a lack of paved shoulders and bicycle paths prevent bicycles from
utilizing this highway; and
WHEREAS, the installation of paved highway shoulders with bicycle paths would
diminish the current public safety hazard and the waiting times necessary to clear accidents,
as well as enable bicyclists to utilize this stretch of US Highway 190.
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Legislature of Louisiana does hereby
urge and request the Department of Transportation and Development to study the feasibility
of installing paved highway shoulders, including bicycle paths, along that portion of US
Highway 190 between the town of Livingston and the city of Denham Springs in Livingston
Parish.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Legislature of Louisiana does hereby urge
and request the Department of Transportation and Development to submit a written report
of its findings and recommendations, including estimated costs, to the Senate and House
committees on transportation, highways, and public works not later than sixty days prior to
the beginning of the 2011 Regular Session. SCR NO. 103 ENROLLED
