BY REPRESENTATIVE ROSALIND JONES
A CONCURRENT RESOLUTI ON
To urge and request the Department of Transportation and Development to install a traffic
light at the intersection of Orange Street and Louisiana Highway 529 (Millhaven
Road) in Ouachita Parish.
WHEREAS, local officials in Ouachita Parish are asking that the Department of
Transportation and Development install a traffic light at the intersection of Orange Street and
Louisiana Highway 529 (Millhaven Road); and
WHEREAS, a major overpass was constructed several years ago that has caused an
increase of traffic on Millhaven Road; and
WHEREAS, the recent opening of Delta Community College has contributed
significantly to the traffic congestion in this area; and
WHEREAS, in an approximate two-mile stretch of highway, there are no traffic
lights to regulate the flow of traffic on Millhaven Road between 18th Street and Powell; and
WHEREAS, installing a traffic light at this intersection is needed to protect the safety
and welfare of pedestrians and drivers alike and to diminish the current public safety hazard
in this growing area of the parish.
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Legislature of Louisiana does hereby
urge and request the Department of Transportation and Development to install a traffic light
at the intersection of Orange Street and Louisiana Highway 529 (Millhaven Road) in
Ouachita Parish.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that a copy of this Resolution be transmitted to the
secretary of the Department of Transportation and Development.
