MORE SESSION DETAILS
This mobile workshop starts at the Algiers Ferry terminal construction site, where new multimodal designs and outcomes will be discussed. Take the ferry across the Mississippi River to tour Old Algiers and examine future transit options for the city along the way, including terminal improvements for the "West Bank" part of New Orleans, park and rides, regional connectivity, and dedicated transit lanes over the Crescent City Connection bridges. Explore a new streetcar line, downtown transit-hub action, lack of regional transit connections (and possible solutions to this problem), and a recently completed transit center.
