Livingston Infrastructure Meeting 10 28 26

The Livingston Parish Council infrastructure meeting on October 29, 2026, focused on the parish road program and updates to a road-classification criteria manual. Members reported that nine road projects are expected to come before the next council meeting for approval; five projects are underway, with six contractors working on the program. The discussion put the value of active projects at roughly $45 million, with individual projects generally estimated at $4–6 million. Work is expected to be bid and started on schedule, with completion targeted by July 2027. The committee also discussed additional pavement testing and geotechnical requirements to improve road durability. No procurement-related vote was taken at this meeting.

The manual remains in development, with a draft of its first six chapters expected within weeks. Topics include road classifications, traffic studies, design standards, setbacks, and possible development impact fees. Members also discussed seeking grant and state funding for safety improvements on Duff Road, state bridge projects expected to be bid in March, and prospective capital projects including an approximately $8 million Linder Road improvement and a Jubin Road extension with about $1.92 million in identified funding. These items were discussed as updates or potential funding efforts; no contract awards or spending motions were approved during the meeting.
