​​Virtual Public Scoping Meeting

The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (DOTD) in coordination with the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA), the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), the New Orleans Regional Planning Commission (RPC) and the railroads operating in the New Orleans metropolitan area are conducting a Planning and Environmental Linkages (PEL) study to evaluate the feasibility of closing the Union Pacific (UP) and Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF) roadway-rail at-grade crossings at Live Oak Boulevard, Willswood Lane, George Street and Avondale Garden Road and replacing them with one, or possibly more, road-over-rail grade separations. The location and number of grade separation(s) will be evaluated as part of this study.

A Virtual Public Scoping Meeting is being held online for thirty-eight (38) consecutive days from  March 9 through April 15, 2022, to present the study, its goals and schedule, and to solicit comments and key issues to be considered. This Scoping Meeting consists of a pre-recorded presentation, meeting exhibits, and contact information to provide comments or to be added to the study  distribution list to receive future notices. All interested parties are invited to review the Scoping Meeting materials and are encouraged to comment.
