SIA Town Meeting, April 24th

The SIA invited the community to the Community Center to discuss MDOTs plans for Highway 601

After the success of the meeting with MDOT on April 11th, reported in this blog post, the SIA invited the community to discuss the road updates openly. After some frank discussion, the meeting was asked to vote on what they thought would be the best road solution for Saucier and the community.

A majority of the meeting attendees voted in favour of a route that travels north from I10 at Canal Road, and merges with Highway 49 as far south of Saucier as possible.

When asked about alternative routes, the overwhelming majority expressed preference for alternative routes that are parallel, but much further West of H49 than the current 'Option 3' route that passes across Saucier Lizana Road approximately 1 - 1.5 miles West of Highway 49.

A letter was emailed to MDOT the following day describing the results of the meeting. In that letter, the SIA endorses the community preference of a route that merges with Highway 49 as far south of Saucier as possible. A copy of that letter will be posted to this web site shortly.
