The purpose of the Work Group is:
- To develop a Complete Streets Policy on the design and construction of
thoroughfares that maximize use by all Louisianans whether they choose to bike, walk,
ride transit, or drive a car.
- To identify implementation strategies both internal to DOTD and external.
- To build on the on-going efforts of the Department of Transportation to create a
complete and multi-modal transportation system for the State of Louisiana.
After meeting four times, the
Work Group will present their draft findings to the Secretary of Transportation
for his consideration and presentation to legislative committees. Pending the
outcome of that process, the Work Group will finalize their recommendations for
the Secretary to present back to legislative committees prior to end of the 2010
legislative session.
