Topics getting the most attention in Kenner public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Kenner Loop transit overhaul
Starting Sunday, one bus runs straight up Williams Boulevard while a modified loop serves the rest, cutting the ride by about 40 minutes. The northwest corner (two-lane and West Loyola north of West Esplanade) becomes a door-to-door lift zone paid by the parish. Hospital and Social Security Office stops are preserved.
West Esplanade bridge condition
The 50-year-old westbound bridge was limited to 5 tons in February but emergency repairs reopened both lanes at higher load ratings; officials will seek federal money to replace it.
