Jurors approve three-way stop at Napoleon Avenue and Bayou Street after complaints about speeding
Summary
The Road & Bridge committee approved installing a three-way stop at the intersection of Napoleon Avenue and Bayou Street after jurors said constituents reported vehicles traveling at high rates of speed toward the ballpark; the motion carried without recorded opposition.
The Assumption Parish Road & Bridge committee approved installing a three‑way stop sign at the intersection of Napoleon Avenue and Bayou Street in response to constituent complaints about speeding drivers trying to reach the ballpark.
Speaker 2, who placed the item on the agenda, said he received phone calls from constituents reporting vehicles ‘‘traveling at a high rate of speed, trying to get to Rapid Road, trying to get to the ballpark.’’ He asked the committee to consider the safety measure and moved to install a three‑way stop; the motion was seconded and carried.
The committee tabled the update on the 2025 rural holiday program to a regular meeting and approved the stop installation as the only substantive action that night for the Road & Bridge agenda.
