RESOLUTION NO. 5734
Title
A resolution strongly requesting the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development to expedite the repair of the expansion joints and bearing pads missing on the down ramp of I-310 to Highway 90 East and additional locations throughout the Parish.
Body
WHEREAS, on November 24, 2009, a letter was sent to the DOTD requesting these repairs; and,
WHEREAS, on November 30, 2009, a letter was received from DOTD advising that this information had been forwarded to the Area Engineer, Mr. Chris Morvant for further handling; and,
WHEREAS, after receiving no further correspondence from the DOTD regarding the matter, the Council Secretary's Office called Mr. Chris Morvant for an update, being advised that placing asphalt over this was not the solution and that the road would have to be lifted which hopefully would be done within the next month; and,
WHEREAS, by February 23, 2010, repairs had not been made, nor any evidences that this would be corrected soon, the Council Secretary's Office called Mr. Morvant again and was advised that the statewide bridge maintenance crew was aware of the problem at this location and five additional locations within the Parish and that we were added to the list but a repair date had not been scheduled; and,
WHEREAS, it is imperative that this work be commenced without delay avoiding possible accidents and damage to vehicles.
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, THAT WE, THE MEMBERS OF THE ST. CHARLES PARISH COUNCIL, do hereby strongly request the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development to expedite the repair of the expansion joints and bearing pads missing on the down ramp of I-310 to Highway 90 East and additional locations throughout the Parish.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to Governor Bobby Jindal, Senator Joel T. Chaisson II, Representative Gary L. Smith, Jr., Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development Secretary William Ankner, Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development Traffic Operation Engineer Mr. Steve Strength, Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development District Administrator Michael Stack, and Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development Legislative Liaison Roy Quezaire.
