Greenacres Boulevard repairs will shift traffic in Bossier City

Drivers on Greenacres Boulevard in Bossier City will face intersection closures and a temporary traffic shift beginning Nov. 17 as crews replace a deteriorated section of roadway. The repairs are part of the City of Bossier City's 2025 Streets and Drainage Improvements Program, according to a community announcement. Work will begin in the eastbound lanes of Greenacres Boulevard at South Hardwick Drive. The intersections of South Hardwick Drive and Fairmont Drive with Greenacres Boulevard will temporarily close so crews can complete the work safely. Residents traveling on Fairmont Drive north of Greenacres Boulevard will be directed to Maple Ridge. Those traveling on Fairmont Drive south of Greenacres Boulevard will be directed to Southwood Drive. Eastbound Greenacres Boulevard traffic also will shift onto the westbound side of the road between Fairmont Drive and Airline Road. That stretch of Greenacres Boulevard will carry two-way traffic during this phase of construction. The project is expected to take about one week, weather permitting. Motorists traveling through the construction area are advised to allow additional travel time, use caution and follow posted signs and traffic-control devices.

Shreveport approves pay raises for city employees in 2027 budget

(The Center Square) - Shreveport police officers, firefighters and other city employees are set to receive pay increases in December as part of the city's proposed 2027 budget. Shreveport City Council unanimously approved a 3% pay increase for classified city employees, effective Dec. 1. The two resolutions passed included additional pay adjustments for more than 400 employees starting Jan. 1, 2027, as well as 6% base-pay increases for police officers and firefighters. At Monday's administrative conference, Chief Administrative Officer Tom Dark said the increases mainly affect the city's General Fund and will initially be funded through building permits fees linked to the two data center projects in Caddo Parish. The approval followed concerns from council members during an Oct. 26 administrative conference, when members questioned why police and fire would receive raises months before other city employees. Councilman James Green argued that all municipal employees should receive increases around the same time saying, "If we found that fountain of money from the data centers and whatever, then we should look beyond putting a few in a bowl and then tell others to wait because they've got to go to the gas pump like everybody else. They got to go to
