General Pershing Street in Broadmoor to get new sidewalks, repaved road
|
New, wider sidewalks with handicapped ramps at the corners and a resurfaced road with better crosswalk markings are all headed to a four-block stretch of General Pershing Street through Broadmoor in a $250,000 project that broke ground this week, city officials said. The project, which runs from Andrew Wilson Charter School to Broad Street, is estimated to be finished this winter. For details about the project, see the city’s official news release:
This week, the City of New Orleans broke ground the Broadmoor Streetscape Project that will enhance the street and surrounding roadway along General Pershing Street from South Broad Street to South Miro Street in the Broadmoor neighborhood. This project will create a more pedestrian-friendly neighborhood and help create additional and continued private investment. There are a total of 24 streetscape projects currently underway or planned by the City of New Orleans.
