images:environmental mitigation:community impacts and cohesion IMPACT:

The proposed project has the potential to impact community cohesion.
image:decorative
COMMITMENT:

A Joint Use Development Plan will be implemented to minimize community impacts. Joint Use Development Plan.

FHWA and LaDOTD will ensure that design plans for the proposed project provide vehicular and pedestrian access across I-49 Connector. The streets that will remain open for vehicular traffic are listed in Access and Circulation. Pedestrian circulation patterns will be developed during the Joint Use Development Plan.

During the design of the proposed project, LaDOTD will provide the provision of increasing the elevation of the roadway structure above the minimum requirement in order to increase the feeling of openness under the structure and to keep cohesion within the community.

Special considerations will be made during the design of the proposed project for aesthetically enhancing the appearance of the structure piles and bents.

STATUS:
