Driving in JP? Might want to let off the gas! New ticket machines issue quick citations

Photo credit JPSO

 By Courtney P.

If you are living in Jefferson Parish, you may have noticed more cars being pulled over, but it isn't because more officers are on the road.

Technology is assisting JPSO for a more efficient way to ticket; cutting the total time of a traffic stop down, allowing officers to make more stops.

Jefferson Parish Sheriff Joe Lopinto says a new machine can print out a ticket in mere seconds allowing officers to initiate more stops.

“The main complaint we get is about traffic enforcement and we have to use our resources for other calls. We got a bunch of new ticket machines and have issued more tickets in the last two weeks.”

This is just one way technology helps out the department.

Lopinto says that his officers are finding more time to move to other calls.

“Instead of an officer spending ten minutes on a call, they scan the license, the ticket prints and goes to the court docket, and they are on to the next call.”

Savvy Sliders, the fastest growing slider restaurant in the U.S., has opened a new location at 2565 Metairie Rd. in Metairie, bringing to this list a faster, more everyday kind of cuisine for the those who prefer to keep things simple.

Bunge to infuse $1B in New Orleans area, grow Avondale palm oil facility to biggest in US

CityBusiness staff reports//August 30, 2024//  

Bunge, a tropical and specialty oil facility in Avondale, is expanding to offer a broader portfolio of products, increasing employment opportunities by 10 percent and making a significant capital investment into the project. Jefferson Parish leaders say the announcement positions Jefferson Parish as a global destination for food product manufacturing.

Bunge, with registered office in Geneva, Switzerland, and its corporate headquarters in St. Louis, Missouri, is a global leader in agribusiness, food and ingredients, specifically oilseed processing and a producer and supplier of specialty plant-based oils and fat, working in partnerships with farmers.

In April 2023, the company completed the purchase of Fuji Vegetable Oil’s newly-constructed refinery, strategically located in IMTT’s (International-Matex Tank Terminals) Avondale Terminal. The new facility provided Bunge with a scalable, port-based footprint capable of connecting North American food, feed and fuel customers to global markets.

The expansion will include a new vegetable oil processing line as well as additional structures to support increased production at the facility. Bunge currently employs 50 people at the 15-acre plant. The amplified output will require additional employees to be hired at Bunge.

Our live music classes with local musicians and culture bearers, as well as our overall emphasis on music appreciation is what makes our lessons stand out among the rest!

Starts at The Contemporary Arts Center!

6-7pm Intro to Swing

For total beginners to swing dancing or dancing of any kind. Also for those looking to refresh their basics and learn some ragtime dances. We use these pre-swing era dances to teach beginners how to step on rhythm, step on rhythm while connected to another person, how to connect in order to lead or follow, you'll learn to syncopate your footwork, and then we'll slowly start to let go of one hand and create the beginnings of what will eventually be a bad-ass swing out.

7:30-8:30 Lindy Hop Vocab - Intermediate Level

This class is gonna give you some must know moves, some technique, some philosophy, and of course, we'll continue to clarify and polish up your swing outs.

No partner required to take either of these classes. Come alone or with friends!
