| RPC Passes Resolution Commending Leaders and Residents for Confronting Oil Spill Disaster | ||
 |
 |
 |
At its meeting of July 13th, the Regional Planning Commission unanimously passed a resolution commending the residents and elected officials of its member-parishes for their continuing efforts in confronting and reducing damages to the coastal wetlands as a result of the oil spill caused by the blowout of B-P’s Deepwater Horizon oil well in the Gulf of Mexico on April 20, 2010. The resolution notes that this was an unprecedented disaster in the history of our nation --- not only in the quantity of the oil spilled, but also in the extent of the ecological disaster inundating coastal beaches and wetlands --- but also in impacting the livelihoods dependant on the economic, recreational and natural bounty of coastal areas. In part, the resolution commends the leaders and residents of communities throughout the region for acting immediately to protect the wetlands and coastlines, for petitioning state and national leaders for resources to fight the spill and mitigate its impact, and for speaking to the nation with a unified voice telling of the magnitude of the threat caused by the oil spill disaster.

Metropolitan Transportation Plans (MTP) The Regional Planning Commission is currently seeking citizen input for the Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP). The MTP is a long-term (20 + years) strategy and capital improvement plan for regional transportation investments. The MTP, which is updated every four years, creates the framework for the region’s Transportation Improvement Plan (TIP), the near-term capital improvement program, which allows for the implementation of transit, highway, and bikeway projects.

New Orleans Rail Gateway Infrastructure and Feasibility Analysis Report and Appendix
Completed December 2007
By: Brown Cunningham Gannuch
In association with Wilbur Smith Associates and Parsons Transportation Group
The New Orleans Rail Gateway within Jefferson Parish stretches from Avondale in the west and via the Huey P. Long Bridge through the city of New Orleans. It is the fourth largest rail gateway in the country and is a key link in the national transportation system. The Gateway provides a vital link in the east/west distribution of freight rail traffic and allows access to Mexico and north into Canada. It services the Port of South Louisiana and Port of New Orleans, which are the nation’s No. 1 and No. 5 ports, respectively. The Gateway is serviced by six of the seven national Class I railroads.
This study addresses the current and future growth of freight and passenger rail traffic through the New Orleans rail gateway. The analysis discusses a series of improvements that could result in improvements for both the community and the railroads. These improvements include an improved quality of life from reduced road congestion, improved safety from enhanced emergency access/evacuations, construction jobs and improved air quality.
