Parish won’t do work in Durand Subdivision unless city removes trees along canal

– The St. Martin Parish Council’s Public Works Committee considered resolutions to enter into intergovernmental agreements with the City of Breaux Bridge for projects involving drainage canals along Elise Drive and Belle Terre Subdivision at its meeting this past Tuesday.

The Elise Drive Project involves a canal in the city limits that is under parish control as part of the parishwide drainage system under Louisiana Revised Statute 38:113.

The parish will be installing culverts purchased by the city for the canal.
