SHREVEPORT, La- Abandoned homes and the lack of upkeep is causing blight in a Shreveport neighborhood. That s the concern of a woman whose family owns a home on Lakeshore Drive in the Queensborough neighborhood. Toccara Huckaby told KTBS she is looking for permanent fixes and resolutions from the city to these issues. Toccara Huckaby and her aunt reached out to their councilman Jerry Bowman early March. They said they ve had no response yet. They were also connected with Councilwoman Tabatha Taylor who isn t over that area but has interest in helping.
While Toccara doesn t live in her families Queensborough home anymore, it is still in the family. Huckaby claims the area s upkeep has gone downhill since she was a kid and wants to know if Property Standards are upheld the same across the city.
