Chips were concentrated primarily in the southern area of the Parish

Plan Map

The boundaries of Star Hill-Independence established based on watersheds and sewer design

A Water Tower should be located at a high point in the service area

The Audubon Bridge and new Zachary Taylor Parkway alignment will impact the area

The Zachary Taylor route is for illustrative purposes only – not an alignment

A connected road network is proposed on the high ground within the Star Hill-Independence area:

• Alternate routes in case of flooding or emergency

• Internal trips kept off major roads

• Provides more opportunities for walking and biking

The Plan Map:

Three primary commercial nodes

Access management

Internal main street

High connectivity

Integrated parklands
