• Abstract:
  In Louisiana, growth in and ; around many urban areas is ; neither planned nor ; managed. State and local ; government agencies ; simply react to what has occurred and attempt to catch up with the necessary ; infrastructure. In other words, government is left with the unenviable task of ; cleaning up the mess created by uncontrolled development. For example, if ; building setbacks are not required, the state may be required to purchase and ; demolish new homes and commercial buildings in order to acquire the right-ofway ; necessary to comply with a new state law that mandates a complete streets’ ; approach to infrastructure provision of state roads and highways. This includes ; providing space for future transportation demands generated by growth in that ; area. Transportation infrastructure includes travel lanes, turning lanes, bicycle ; infrastructure, sidewalks, and bus stops.
