Susan Guidry
Living near two large universities can be both a blessing and a burden, City Councilwoman Susan Guidry told a crowd of about 100 constituents Wednesday night as she sought to answer their quality-of-life questions.
Guidry — whose District A includes the Carrollton, Audubon and university neighborhoods as well as Mid-City and Lakeview — offered few specific solutions during her talk, bringing a cohort of city officials and department heads to meet with people about their individual issues. Instead, she focused on descriptions of her efforts and the city’s to handle broader issues around the university areas — underage drinking, overcrowded houses and illegal parking — as well as updates on other topics, including the $55 million upcoming drainage project on Napoleon Avenue and new efforts to notify neighbors of nearby land-use changes.

biggest waste of two hours in my entire life. A town hall meeting where she gloated about her accomplishments for so long, that ATC had to step in because they had another meeting and only had a few minutes to speak. I was more than happy they and the Lt. showed up. I was just disappointed that we were unable to ask the ATC any real questions with them being on a time constraint.
