Everyone seems to be pushing back against the idea of a car-free French Quarter, and while I agree that there would be a lot of logistics to work out, it& #39;s saddening to see everyone latch onto the status quo (cars) over walkable, bikeable neighborhoods.
There are obviously a ton of accessibility issues to be considered, but as I said, there would be a lot of logistics to work out.
I think two key pillars that would have to be guaranteed to make this work - large, free public parking lots/garages on the outskirts of the quarter, and shuttle service within the quarter itself.
There would also have to be options for residents/businesses for deliveries, groceries, etc. Driveable hours.
Either way, saying that a car-free French Quarter wouldn& #39;t work is incredibly lazy on your part. Have some imagination, look for inventive solutions. Don& #39;t stick with Bad Times just because we& #39;re used to Bad Times.
