Mayor Cantrell Signs Ordinance to Help Clean Up Frenchmen Street
Mayor LaToya Cantrell has signed an ordinance designed to help clean up Frenchmen Street between Esplanade Avenue and Dauphine Street. This area includes a high concentration of restaurants and entertainment venues that routinely attract many tourists and residents, similar to the volume witnessed in the French Quarter/Downtown Development District (FQ/DDD). As a result, various sections of Chapter 138 of the City Code that apply to the FQ/DDD have been modified to include Frenchmen Street.
“To keep our city cleaner and safer, we need the sanitation efforts we’ve seen in the French Quarter area applied to Frenchmen Street. This area of Faubourg Marigny has become its own entertainment district. We need to maximize all of our resources, from residents to businesses, to #CleanUpNOLA,” said
