DONALDSONVILLE — Donaldsonville Mayor Leroy Sullivan has vetoed a city council measure that would have allowed golf carts to drive on municipal streets. 

Sullivan chose to veto the measure because there are other things that are needed to be able to implement such an ordinance. These include golf cart crossings and other safety measures, especially at state highways that run through Donaldsonville.

According to Sullivan, the veto could have been overridden by the council, but the body chose not to because there's no disagreement between the mayor and the council over it. 

The council is now working on making sure the prospective rule would be fair to the majority of Donaldsonville community members. The major hangup, Sullivan said, is the state highway crossings, something that is being discussed with the state Department of Transportation and Development.

There is currently no timeline for when a new version of the ordinance will be ready. It will, however, remain on the council's agenda so it does not get forgotten about, Sullivan noted.
