St. Tammany/West Notables talk traffic
Notable business owners and elected leaders in and around Madisonville, LA weigh in on the effects of traffic in the area and possible solutions, both short-term and long-term.Traffic chronic issues in the Madisonville, LA area have prompted two local entrepreneurs to propose the construction of a 4-lane Bypass Toll Bridge across the Tchefuncte River where an aging 2-lane swing bridge hinders the free-flow of traffic, contributing to traffic problems in and around the Madisonville, LA area by creating a choke-point that hinders traffic that sometimes exceeds 18,000 vehicles per day. The bypass bridge would be built and maintained by a Private Company (no municipal or state funds) in exchange for tolls. The venture would follow the Public-Private-Partnership (P3) model.

The concept is generally known as a Public-Private-Partnership (aka: P3s) where the private company uses its own money to build the bridge instead of traditional funding from the State of Louisiana.

In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today.
