The New Iberia City Council will discuss recent correspondences with the Louisiana Department of Transportation concerning the railroad crossing on Caroline Street at Tuesday’s meeting.

The railroad crossing has been in contention for years along with several other railroad crossings in the area that DOTD has wanted to shut down. Local residents and business owners along with the City Council have fought the decision several times in the past due to resident and traffic concerns.

In other business, the council will vote on an ordinance amending the budget to roll over unused American Rescue Act engineering funds and set a public hearing for Feb. 6.

Another ordinance to be voted on will amend the budget to carry forward the remaining budget on the Asphalt Overlay and Concrete Repair Projects and also set for a public hearing on Feb. 6.

A recommendation by the Planning and Zoning Commission to approve the installation of an electronic sign on 301 E. St. Peter St. is on the agenda as well.

The meeting will take place at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday at New Iberia City Hall.
