The City of Slidell is seeking qualifications from multidisciplinary professional consultant teams to develop a Mobility Master Plan that addresses current transportation challenges, enhances the city's transportation network, and aligns with growth projections. Through public and stakeholder engagement, this comprehensive plan will tackle issues such as insufficient multi-modal infrastructure, barriers created by rail systems, and inadequate pedestrian and bicycle pathways, which disproportionately impact underserved neighborhoods. The plan will provide recommendations for transportation improvements, regulatory or policy updates, and investment strategies to support long-term maintenance and project implementation. It will evaluate current conditions, identify deficiencies, suggest infrastructure enhancements, estimate costs, and offer strategies for revitalization and sustainable economic growth.
