Caddo chimes in on Shreveport railroad closure plans

While Shreveport officials work on how to appease angry residents and please Union Pacific Railroad on planned crossing closures, their Government Plaza neighbors are talking about it.

In today's Caddo Commission work session, Commissioner Ken Epperson asked Parish Administrator Woody Wilson what was going on.

"It’s pretty much up in the air," Wilson said. "We think the city of Shreveport might be changing their mind about that contract.”

Maybe the city and parish can take up the issue Friday in a scheduled intergovernmental meeting. Until then, I hear Mayor Cedric Glover should meet soon with Union Pacific reps. And Shreveporters are calling the governor's office saying their local officials did not represent them.

Get the background here.
