1 mile loop would mean Dome to French Quarter (0.8 mi) in my opinion. They have not released the map yet.

Can you imagine The Boring Company having to intersect and work with the S&WB? This should be entertaining.

It won't go near the Quarter with all the regulations. They'll stay on the Dome side of Canal Street. My guess would be Dome to Audubon Aquarium.

The only tunnel I know of in the city is the casino tunnel from Fulton to Poydras

Yep (and while not in the city, there is a tunnel at MSY, but not sure if still functional).

I'm guessing The Boring Company has yet to try to work with the city of New Orleans.

There is/was a tunnel from the Supreme Court clerk to the river.

There still is a 6’ brick tunnel running down St Charles eastbound. The large steel plates in the road are the access points.

This is like the 5th thi g this week(Its Tuesday) that Elon has offered to pay for. Didn't he just offer to pay TSA salaries as well.

I dont know if he's just bored or looking to keep his name out there, but I'll file this under ill believe it when I see it.

What’s the point of a short tunnel like that? Gonna be a nightmare when a wreck happens…pos car breaks down in middle…the brothers start blocking it to rob and kill. Bad idea all around
