2024 Regular Session ENROLLED
SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 125
BY SENATOR CONNICK
A RESOLUTION
To urge and request the Department of Transportation and Development to provide an
alternative, other than prohibiting large commercial vehicles on the portion of
Interstate 20 in Bossier City between Hamilton Road and Industrial Drive.
WHEREAS, Interstate 20 in Bossier City is a crucial artery for local, state, and
national traffic; and
WHEREAS, the current construction project on Interstate 20 has eliminated large
commercial traffic to crucial businesses between the Hamilton Road and Industrial Drive
exits; and
WHEREAS, many studies and discussions have gone into the matter, pleas for
assistance have gone unanswered, with the result being a prohibition on commercial
vehicles; and
WHEREAS, since the prohibition went into effect many traffic tickets to commercial
drivers have been issued; and
WHEREAS, Governor Jeff Landry was elected on a platform of, "No business as
usual" and a "can do" mindset; and
WHEREAS, this is a prime opportunity to offer a viable alternative for constituents
that provide local, state, and national services based on this small stretch of interstate.
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Louisiana Senate does hereby urge and
request the Department of Transportation and Development to address the problems and
provide an alternative, other than prohibiting large commercial vehicles on the portion of
Interstate 20 in Bossier City between Hamilton Road and Industrial Drive, during the
construction currently taking place on Interstate 20.
