I really don't have a problem with making a part of town like that car-free. I wish they'd do it for a couple of blocks downtown in Boise.
But parking is an issue. To effectively enforce that rule, you'd need an entire easily identifiable fleet of cars whose primary purpose was to drop people off. As well as a lot big enough for every single person living in the French Quarter to park for free. Or you could provide bus passes to everyone, but I know I'm not riding the bus in New Orleans.

Do we turn the garages in to bars?

If New Orleans had decent public transportation, trains, shuttles or subways I could see this easier to implement.
But they can’t even get 2 brand new $12mm ferries to pass coast guard inspection.

Thank God I don't have that image burned in my brain.

What is the benefit to not having cars allowed in the FQ?
The thugs won't have getaway cars?

Or an automated gate that opens for certain people?
Probably how it would be done. The larger garages on the skirts could probably negotiate to have access alleys open or something.

No horses in the quarter.

Delivery trucks, moving vans... People who live in FQ ain't got time for that.
They'll have to make time consigliere.
I think it's a good idea. You ever try to drive around the quarter? narrow streets, parked cars, one way streets, pedestrians, it sucks. God forbid you have to cross Bourbon, people beating on your car while you spend your 10 minutes inching across the street.
It would go a long way to beautify the FQ, encourage walking, biking and pedicabs and would likely decrease crime. I'm for it. Wouldn't want to necessarily live there but it would be a major upgrade to the FQ and definitely raise property values.
Bike easy my friends.

Does she want to do this in each one of the “Quarters”?
