Text

§140.50.21. Acceptance of and improvements in unapproved streets
After the adoption of a master plan, in whole or in part, as provided in R.S.
33:140.50.16, the municipality or parish 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, in
conflict with the plan unless such street has been accepted or opened as, or has otherwise
received the legal status of, a public street prior to the adoption of a master plan, 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.
However, the town council or, in the case of a street outside of the municipality, the police
jury 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 two-thirds of the entire membership of the town council or police jury, as appropriate.
A street approved by the commission upon such submission, or constructed or accepted by
such two-thirds 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.
