As most of you probably saw today, we are now paying for Sheriff patrols in the neighborhood. They will appear at undisclosed times and locations.
The funds for this are coming out of the “entertainment” budget, at my request and the rest of the board’s approval.
Many of us agree that speeding is a huge problem in our subdivision. During our last council meeting, I proposed that we approach the Livingston Parish council about adding stop signs and lowering the speed limit. The feeling was mutual among all board members, and Jason Simcoe ran with it. Jason approached Buddy Mincey, our current councilman about the issue.
The two of them toured our neighborhood, and Buddy agreed to help. He is going to draft an ordinance to add three way stop signs at Iberia and Concordia and to lower the speed limit to 20 MPH. It should appear on the agenda for the October 27th meeting. He does not expect any resistance and it is a completely reasonable request. If implemented, it should take around 30 days for us to see the changes implemented.
If anyone has any comments or concerns, feel free to post them in response to this post.
Also, Mr. Mincey has offered his parish cell phone number if anyone would like to speak to him.
Parish Cell: 225-573-8015
Thanks Jason, for making this happen so quickly.
