Arceneaux said the city wants more lighting along North Market and more crosswalks and lighting on Hearne Avenue.
“And so we’d like to find some more lighting along North Market. We’ve also had some fatal accidents involving pedestrians on Hearne Avenue, and so we would like to have more cross-walking and more lighting,” Arceneaux said…
