The Lafayette City-Parish Council approved two ordinances Tuesday that authorize Consolidated Government to acquire private land for traffic-improvement projects.
Ordinance 233 authorizes LCG to acquire land at the intersection of Johnston Street and Doucet Road near the Grand Theater for the purpose of widening Doucet Road where it crosses Johnston Street. Ordinance 220 authorizes the acquisition of land at the northwest corner of the Hugh Wallis/Kaliste Saloom intersection. There is currently a merge lane from southbound Hugh Wallis to westbound Kaliste Saloom, but the land is otherwise undeveloped. The projects will include adding turning lanes and widening the roadways.

Calhoun was named executive director, and Brooks is director of planning and design.
There will soon be a whole lot of shakin’ going on at Benny’s Sportshack Supplement Depot, a new concept by Opelousas native Benny Nele. Located at 2002 Johnston St., the supplement shop, smoothie bar and café, featuring hot off the press paninis and wraps, plans to open in late May.
This year’s Cool Town issue is all about people who are not native to South Louisiana but made a conscious decision to be here, to be among us, to participate in our culture and contribute to it.
A shelved ordinance transferring $200,000 from a northside drainage project to a south Lafayette development may not break any laws, but it stinks to high heaven.
An effort to restore a shuttered dancehall and document other vacant or razed honky-tonks could serve as a model for saving an endangered species of entertainment.
Lafayette’s gene pool has been host to a long line of eccentric characters who have blurred the lines between crazy, genius, disturbed and curiously entertaining.
