Just when you thought the Uptown mono-route couldn't get any more crowded.
West Bank residents who want to stay close to home for Carnival will
find limited options next year after two krewes will parade Uptown next
year. Calling it a “difficult’’ decision, longtime krewes of Alla and Choctaw will move to the St. Charles Avenue route.
Also, since Westbank residents seeking to enjoy Carnival will now be obligated to join the already untenable siege of the St. Charles Avenue neutral ground, they should know they'll probably have take the bridge. Otherwise,
bring some walking around money.
Legislation allowing the Algiers and Chalmette ferries to be absorbed
into the Regional Transit Authority with funding from the state
transportation department was passed by the Louisiana House Monday.
Senate Bill 215
by Sen. David Heitmeier, D-New Orleans, would also allow increased
fares to ride the ferries, which come after their funding source was
eliminated from the Crescent City Connection during the debate over the
bridge tolls.
