LAFAYETTE PARISH â A possible new subdivision is causing flooding concerns for some residents of a Lafayette Parish neighborhood.
Neighbors say they are worried that the proposed development of a 21-acre property off of Mills Road could make flooding in their area worse.
The proposal would bring a new 90-plot subdivision to the area. One neighbor tells KATC that the area already sees significant flooding during rains.
She tells us Oak Springs and Frenchman Trail are known for flooding anytime there is rain. Those streets are less than half a mile from the newly proposed subdivision located at Mills Street, Pope Drive and Vatican Road in the unincorporated part of Lafayette Parish.
