Mayor Tommy Eschete wishes to remind our residents that the use of golf carts on City streets do have some restrictions. Only “street legal” units are allowed in areas where the speed limit exceeds 25 MPH.

In addition, all units are to be operated by licensed drivers only. Parents should not allow under-aged non- licensed children to operate the carts on public streets.

The Thibodaux Police Department will enforce these restrictions so as to provide a safe environment for all operators and passengers of motor vehicles traveling on our city streets.

For any additional information, please call the Thibodaux Police Department at (985) 446-5021 or the Mayor’s office at 985-446-7218.

In partnership with the Blue Cross Blue Shield of Louisiana Foundation, The Lorio Foundation and the Federal Highway Administration Recreational Trails Program, the City of Thibodaux is constructing a pedestrian/bicycle path that will serve as a corridor between Nicholls State University and the downtown Thibodaux area. A groundbreaking ceremony was held this morning, to signal the project’s upcoming construction. It was the vision of Mayor Eschete and Nicholls President Jay Clune to continue the efforts to transform our City into a more pedestrian/bicycle friendly environment and to promote these alternative forms of active transportation and exercise for the community.

The Menard Pedestrian/Bike Trail project construction should commence in April and should be completed in early Fall. The funding of the project is a collaboration between all of the partners. The additional partnerships with Nicholls State University and Duplantis Design Group have been beneficial in bringing this visionary project to fruition.

“We are excited about this project, which will be a healthy travel alternative and support recreation in our city,” said Mayor Tommy Eschete. “On behalf of our City Council and all of our residents, I wish to thank our funding partners for sharing our vision and making this project a reality.”
