Troy Henry on Infrastructure
"We have to make a more significant investment in ongoing maintenance and repair of our basic infrastructure. I want to continue the street work started under the South Louisiana Submerged Roads Program and accelerate the repair of the City’s antiquated sewer, water, and drainage system. And the effort has to be coordinated to ensure that when a street gets fixed, the leaky water pipes underneath get fixed also. The City should also have a smarter transportation system that includes synchronized signal-lighting. Fixing the poor condition of streets is a good first step, but our transportation system also needs to be more efficient. And we should continue the current trend of making our street system more bike and pedestrian friendly."

"The Sewerage & Water Board loses 50% of the water that pumps through the system. Every resident pays for that lost water. And we pay even more when that escaped water bubbles to the surface to damage streets and property. The drainage system is also the first line of defense in our City’s flood protection system. We have to make a more significant investment in ongoing maintenance and repair of our basic infrastructure."
