It may be easier to take a walk in some parts of the parish. Repairs to curbs and sidewalks in Port Sulphur, Buras and Braithwaite are almost completed. The $795,000 project was funded by a Community Development Block Grant awarded through the Louisiana Recovery Authority.

Damaged curbs and sidewalks were replaced in Braithwaite, and on Highway 23 in Port Sulphur from Civic Drive south to St. Patrick’s Church. The same was done on Highway 11 from Roger Halphen Field south to Giordano Street in Buras. Also, handicap ramps were added to intersections in all three locations.
