Its a storm drain. All this time I've been wondering WTF a catch basin is. New Orleanians have to have a weird name for everything .

Catch basin isn't a New Orleans thing. A catch basin is what it is. If you go anywhere in the country and pull out plans for a drainage or roadway projects, that is listed as a catch basin. Frankly, most engineers working on roadway projects in Louisiana will know that as a CB-06.
