Dear Neighbors and Friends,
At this month's
Regional Planning Commission meeting, I was pleased to receive the list
of infrastructure projects to be funded with Crescent City Connection
tolls.
Revenues generated
by the Crescent City Connection tolls are being used to fund either
entirely or in part twelve priority projects. These projects include:
improvements to General DeGaulle (from Landry to Holiday), the Harvey
Tunnel rehabilitation, Mardi Gras Boulevard repairs (from Hendee St. to
Brooklyn), and Crescent City Connection Bridge repairs.
These and the other
Crescent City Connection improvements will enhance our City and our
region's connectivity for years to come.
Finally, on February
28, 2013, the City Council Transportation Committee which I chair, will
feature a presentation from the Department of Transportation and
Development (DOTD) on the current status of the Crescent City Connection
and Tolls. Click here to view the Agenda.
For the list
of projects planned by the Regional Planning Commission, please see Crescent
City Connection Bridge Projects and Transition Funds.
And, please
read this February 20, 2013 from the Times-Picayune about the RPC
setting construction priorities for Crescent City Connection tolls.
Regards,
Kristin
