The Livingston Parish Council meeting on September 9, 2025, focused on the ongoing Master Plan Review, with discussions centering on improving connectivity and recreational opportunities within the parish. Council members emphasized the need for better biking infrastructure, particularly the potential for a connector route that would link key areas such as Down Springs and Albany.

One council member highlighted the advantages of creating a biking network similar to those found in East Baton Rouge, noting that such improvements could enhance the community's recreational offerings. The idea of developing these routes was seen as a way to encourage outdoor activities and attract visitors to the area.

Additionally, the council discussed the importance of addressing existing infrastructure and ensuring that developments align with the community's needs. There was a consensus that while progress has been made, more control and planning are necessary to ensure that future developments serve the best interests of the residents.

Looking ahead, the council plans to invite Robert, a key figure in the planning process, to the next meeting to provide further insights and updates. The discussion also included a request to add more topics related to complete streets to the agenda for future meetings, indicating a commitment to ongoing dialogue about community development.

Overall, the meeting underscored the council's dedication to enhancing the quality of life in Livingston Parish through improved infrastructure and recreational opportunities. The next steps will involve continued discussions and planning to ensure that the Master Plan effectively meets the needs of the community.
