How would you define the role the Planning Commission has had to date in the Green Light Project to widen Staring Lane?  Have they been involved in scoping this project…e.g., determining the 25 ft from road centerline boundaries?

    We have been instructed by the Mayor’s Office and DPW Director to have all public and news media comments and questions go to Mr. John Snow, spokesman for the Green Light Plan. It is felt this will provide the public and news media with consistent and timely communication regarding all projects in the Green Light Plan.

    John Snow can be contacted at jsnow@consultssa.com.

    Thank you.

    Subject: Green Light Project to Widen Staring Lane (Chandler to Highland Rd Stretch)

    Can you field these remaining unanswered questions/comments:

    • Is there room for discussion on the scope of this project?
    • Can the mile above Highland remain as-is? It is design complete, but construction only 4% complete.
    • Project Environmental Document only discusses area immediately around Bayou Duplantier, this is not the only area of impact. Your estimates for environmental mitigation ($ 240,000) are too low.
    • Your project indicates "noise study may be needed". It is needed as impact is already being felt by the neighborhoods.
