In early September construction contractor Barriere began working on three projects in the Marigny neighborhood. The $1.8M city-funded roadway improvement projects are part of Moving New Orleans Bikes’ effort to improve roadways and safety for bike riders. Improvements will be made at these locations: Elysian Fields – from North Peters to St. Claude, roadway surfacing and reducing the roadway to two travel lanes plus a bike lane; Franklin Avenue – from North Peters to St. Claude Patch, drain line repairs, roadway resurfacing, and extensions of ADA-compliant curb ramps at Franklin and Chartres, and Franklin and Burgundy; and Royal Street – from Elysian Fields to Esplanade, roadway resurfacing.
