Wouldn't white stain more easily?

You'll be able to walk the street in 10 years and point to the particular vomit stain you put there while you reminisce about your youth.

Why not use pavers?

This is what beal street does, and we pay tolls on public roads... the city can do whatever they want as long as it passes a vote.

Where does the Applebees go?

If you absolutely have to redo the street itself, do it brick/Fulton style:

As someone who lives in New Orleans, and who works in the Quarter.....this would be a giant waste of resources. There are literally hundreds of streets in this city that require more $$$.

You realize this is for infrastructure under the street and not to make Bourbon smoother

A yard of concrete using white cement is about 5-6 times more than standard gray cement. Just seems like they would use a heavy slag mix (60% gray cement and 40% slag) and get a near white paved area.

Will never happen. New mayor takes office later this year. Mitch the bitch is trying to leave a legacy but he's done.

If this is true, they will have to have multiple people on look out when work is not being done to make sure drunk morons don't injure themselves or frick up the work.

I see this as a real bad idea.
