## Resource

Highway 22 residents are sounding the alarm as overgrown grass and clogged ditches threaten safety—especially with hurricane season looming. Visibility at stop signs is nearly gone, and pedestrians are at risk after dark. Flooding risks are rising as ditches fill with debris, and locals say their pleas to state officials have gone unheard. The Louisiana DOTD admits weather has sped up grass growth, delaying mowing—but new legislative funding means crews can now mow more often and use specialized equipment to clear ditches. Work is already underway, with the entire stretch expected to be mowed within a week—if weather permits. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
