Traffic Advisory: Connect the Crescent

of partners and support from the City of New Orleans, will continue
installing elements of the Connect the Crescent demonstration mobility project

following stretches of roadway and cross streets on Saturday, Sept. 15, 2018:

Connect the Crescent is a
three-month demonstration project that will showcase a connected network of
low-stress bikeways, pedestrian safety measures and improved transit-stop
access in the downtown area. Residents interested in volunteering to participate
