RTA Public Meeting on Convention Center Streetcar Expansion Plans

The RTA is hosting the second of two planned public meetings on their streetcar expansion plans, focusing on the proposed Convention Center loop.  Transport for NOLA believes that local and federal transportation funding should be spent on other projects in New Orleans, and therefore does not support this line as currently proposed.  Please attend to tell the RTA your thoughts!

RTA Public Meeting on N Rampart/St. Claude Streetcar Expansion

The RTA is hosting the first of two public meetings on their N Rampart/St. Claude streetcar plans tonight, from 6-8PM, at the St. Paul Lutheran School, located at 2624 Burgundy Street.  Transport for NOLA supports the project, but encourages the RTA to consider the following changes to their plans:

  • Placing the streetcar tracks entirely within a widened neutral ground
  • Deprioritize the Elysian Fields connection in favor of a connection to Poland Avenue or Howard Avenue
