By definition, that includes everyone in the Parish. Both of those possibilities applied to my ‘year’ as President of the Caddo Parish Commission But Woody’s vision extended beyond the borders of Caddo Parish: he, like numerous during 2006-2007. others, sees that the issues confronting Caddo Parish and Shreveport are in fact regional concerns. The clear reality is that Shreveport, Caddo Parish, Bossier City and My term as president began a couple of months Bossier Parish, which together form the population and commerce center for a large ahead of schedule in late 2006 in the midst area of three states, will be the driving force behind any regional initiatives affecting of and as the result of a period of change all within the area. Both problems and opportunities lie ahead for the region; by concerning several local elected officials. Three working together, the problems can be minimized and the opportunities maximized. Parish Commissioners, including then-President Ron Webb, moved over to seats on the Shreveport Examples: Water is a thing that many of us have largely taken for granted through City Council in the fall elections, causing me to the years.

So will the residential developments that will accompany new business growth. Thus was begun my second tenure as President of the Commission. This term was punctuated by a number of noteworthy events and accomplishments in which I was It is exciting to think of the possibilities that exist for this area, particularly for the next honored to be a participant. generation of citizens. A common-sense evaluation of known factors tells us that there will be growth: Interstate 49 is getting closer to completion; when that happens Of those, I can think of none that is more historic and significant in its occurrence, or that holds there will be connection from New Orleans to Kansas City. Interstate 69 is still nothing more potential for future reward, than the strides that were made in bringing local and area more than lines on a map, but much effort and headway is being made to make it a government bodies and individuals together for the purpose of talking about matters of part of the actual landscape. When completed, the highway will stretch from the Canadian concern to us all. We share a common geography, so we inevitably share many of the same border to the Mexican border, creating what is being called a “NAFTA Superhighway”. problems and needs: water, infrastructure, economic development, housing being but a few. In conjunction with Interstate 20, these new commerce lanes will position this area In December of 2007 the Caddo Parish Commission and the Shreveport City Council as one of the major traffic hubs in the South. In conjunction with the Caddo-Bossier met in an unprecedented joint session, attended also by members of the Caddo Port—which is growing exponentially with the addition of new major industries to Parish School Board and other agencies and entities.

One prime example of preparation and opportunity coming together concerns a concept that few could even envision just a few short years ago, most of us had This concept—that the Parish Commission, the City Council and the School never heard of until recently, and that few even now comprehend. That concept Board should all be talking to each other and planning common and compatible is “cyberspace”.

The port is the southernmost port in Louisiana and centrally located in a large area of the Gulf that is rich in oil and natural gas drilling fields. Shallow water operations are serviced out of many ports along the Gulf Coast, but servicing for deepwater operations is located at select ports due to the use of larger vessels that are required to support deepwater operations. Due to its central location, deep channels, favorable weather conditions, and size, the oil and gas industry has chosen to concentrate its infrastructure for deepwater oil and gas operations support at Port Fourchon. Roughly 270 large supply vessels traverse the channels of Port Fourchon each day. Normally, about 75 percent of these vessels are servicing drilling rigs. Even though there are many more production platforms that require servicing than there are operating drilling rigs, drilling operations require much more material than production requires. The supplies and materials sent to rigs and platforms from Port Fourchon are brought into the port by the 600 eighteen-wheel trucks that travel on Louisiana Highway 1 (LA-1) each day.

  • Interstate 49: Origin, Planning, Construction
    Interstate 49: Origin, Planning, Construction Interstate 49 had its inception in the 1970s when business leaders and highway officials in Missouri, Arkansas and Louisiana began discussing the need for a new north-south interstate through the center of the United States. The new interstate would connect south-central Canada and the Gulf Coast in southern Louisiana and generate economic and safe- ty benefits in every state along the way. The goal was less congestion to improve the flow of goods and people and attract more commerce from businesses seeking to locate or expand in communities with an interstate highway nearby. With access only at interchanges and no more at-grade intersections, driving would be safer. In the mid-1970s, the Federal Highway Administration approved an interstate highway in western Louisiana to connect I-10 at Lafayette and I-20 at Shreveport, a distance of 212 miles. Construction in Louisiana began in the early 1980s and was completed in 1996. The first 32-mile segment of that 212 miles was completed in 1984 and became the first stretch of I-49 in the nation. In the meantime, Missouri and Arkansas officials were working to improve the U.S. 71 corridor to eventually achieve interstate highway standards. Arkansas built several segments, including what is known as I-540 between Bentonville and Fort Smith, which was opened to traffic in 1999. Starting in the 1970s, Missouri began the process of four-laning U.S. 71 south of Nevada, Mo. Into the 1980s,1990s and 2000s, projects included building four-lane freeway sections of U.S.

However, the cost of maintaining that network with a static population has proven to be difficult and continued extension of the road network Swill promote sprawl and strain budgets. This chapter focuses less on further expansion of the road network and more on integration of land use and transportation in order to provide opportunities for more transportation choice; improving maintenance and function of existing roadways; making travel more pleasant, attractive and environmentally sound through provision of amenities; and enhancing public transportation. Strategies and actions include: • Fix It First: develop a comprehensive pavement management program. • Integrate transportation and land use planning, technology and management strategies for efficient roadway and transit networks to provide alternatives to auto travel, and establish roadway impact fees. • Strengthen and enforce access management policies and ordinances. • Adopt context-sensitive design frameworks and a “Complete Streets” policy that integrates various transportation modes in regulations. • Improve conditions to encourage more trips by bicycle, walking and transit as part of the region’s ozone conformity plan. • Examine the feasibility of consolidating redundant and/or underperforming routes to add additional service on nearby principal routes, while developing system-wide standards for operational efficiency that will be used to make future decisions about route reductions, service enhancements, and long-range planning efforts for higher-frequency services like bus rapid transit (BRT).
