Project Concept Report
Project: Plank Rd. Corridor
Enhancement (N. 22nd St. to Harding Blvd.)
Date: November 21, 2019
This is a conceptual report. The project features
and layouts will be further refined through
planning and design phases.

Image above represents broad outline of the project area as shown in 2018 MOVEBR tax plan proposition
Project: Plank Rd. Corridor Enhancement (N. 22nd St. to Harding Blvd.)
MOVEBR Program ID: CEP-52 Project Length (feet): 23,000 Estimated Cost: $15,000,000 Funded from Proposition: $15,000,000
PROJECT OVERVIEW
This project proposes to enhance pedestrian and cyclist mobility. Right-of-way space will
be considered to identify opportunities to improve sidewalks and provide bicycle
accommodates where feasible as well as improve sidewalk access to current transit
stops, thereby enhancing multi-modal access throughout the corridor. Plank Rd. has one
of the highest bus ridership totals in the parish and is also part of the potential Bus Rapid
Transit route. High visibility crosswalks at all intersections and pedestrian countdown
signals at major intersections will be considered. Access management principles will also
be considered to better control access to current public facilities and commercial
businesses. Signalized intersection improvements may also be required at major
intersections. Findings from both the Plank-Nicholson Bus Rapid Transit study and the Plank
Road Master Plan must be taken into consideration for this project.

Current Condition: Four-lane undivided w/sidewalks (I-110 to Evangeline St.)
Four-lane w/two-way left turn lane and sidewalks (Evangeline St. to Sumrall Dr.) Four-lane divided w/sidewalks (Sumrall Dr. to Harding Blvd.)
Proposed Condition: See Typical Sections for Preliminary Concept Alternates.
During later phases, other alternate improvements will be developed and finalized with input from the public.
PROJECT STATUS
This project is currently in the planning phase.
COMPLETE STREETS
The MOVEBR Program has developed design guidelines that aim to institutionalize the
Complete Streets policy by accommodating pedestrians, bicyclists, and transit users,
regardless of age and ability.
DRAINAGE AND GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE CONSIDERATIONS
Among the drainage considerations for this specific project are the following:
A portion or all of this project is located within Flood Zone AE, which is considered
a Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA).
This project location was in an area identified as an “estimated inundation area”
from the 2016 floods. This map can be viewed at
https://www.arcgis.com/home/webmap/viewer.html?webmap=cb332217bdab4572b4930e02d
6655f84
Existing drainage for this project area utilizes a closed (sub-surfaced) system.
The project budget will consider funding for green infrastructure to improve water quality
and mitigate impacts of stormwater runoff. Examples of green infrastructure include but
are not limited to porous pavement, creation or maintenance of a tree canopy,
bioswales, planter boxes, rain gardens, and land conservation efforts.
ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS
Initial reviews support the following;
3 | Page
Environmental considerations have been identified including potential Cultural
Resources, Underground Storage Tanks needing remediation, and Railroad impacts
and must be reviewed and potentially addressed.
*Note that this is not exhaustive of possible future environmental considerations.
TRAFFIC & SIGNALIZATION INTERSECTIONS
The Projected Average Daily Traffic (ADT) for year 2042 is 52,000 (north of Airline).
The current concept supports turn lanes at major intersections for budget purposes.
Future traffic studies will identify locations for turn lanes, median openings and
connections (driveways, side streets etc.).
Signal systems will be upgraded as a part of future projects if required due to future
configurations.
UTILITIES CONSIDERATIONS
A preliminary assessment of the project area provides for the utilities listed below.
Potential utility relocation costs will be included in the project budget if the infrastructure
is located within the utility’s own servitude.
Possible Utilities Existing Adjust/Relocate
Overhead Electric TBD
Underground Electric TBD
Water TBD
Sanitary Sewer TBD
Telephone TBD
CATV/Fiber TBD
Gas Distribution TBD
Gas HP Pipeline TBD
RIGHT OF WAY CONSIDERATIONS
Minimal residential or commercial right of way acquisitions are anticipated at this time.
