Text

§140.18. Acceptance of and improvements in unapproved streets
After the adoption of a master plan, in whole or in part, as provided in R.S.
33:140.13, the municipality or other public body shall not accept, lay out, open, improve,
grade, pave, or light any street within the area covered by the adopted plan, which conflicts
with the plan unless such street shall have been accepted or opened as, or shall have
otherwise received the legal status of, a public street prior to such attachment of the
commission's platting jurisdiction, or unless such street corresponds in its location and lines
with a street shown on a subdivision plat approved by such commission or on a street plat
made by and adopted by such commission; provided, however, that the city council may
locate and construct or may accept any other street if the ordinance or other measure for such
location and construction or for such acceptance be first submitted to such commission for
its approval, and, if disapproved by the commission, be passed by not less than a majority
of the entire membership of the city council; and a street approved by the commission upon
such submission, or constructed or accepted by such majority vote after disapproval by the
commission, shall have the status of an approved street as fully as though it has been
originally shown on a subdivision plat approved by the commission or on a plat made and
adopted by the commission.
