Here's how the city could reimagine the French Quarter, other areas, as no-car zones

quote:

---

A "slow car" plan that would see cars on the half square-mile's interior streets go no faster than 15 miles per hour. They would travel 20 miles per hour on exterior streets.

A "Safer Rampart" plan that would see more pedestrian signals, safety bollards and highly visible crosswalks on North Rampart Street.

A plan that would give pedestrians free reign down a five-block stretch of Orleans Avenue from North Rampart to Jackson Square.

A plan that would close French Market Place to motorized vehicles, giving French Market vendors more space to spread out and allow for more seating

A plan that would close Frenchman Street in the Marigny to cars each night

A plan that would close off Chartres, Conti and Iberville to vehicles after 5 p.m., along with Bourbon and Royal streets.

A plan that would see restaurants and bars along Decatur and North Peters streets seat more customers outside on expanded sidewalks.
