Mid-City Messenger's article:  Tulane Avenue corridor will see $10 million streetscape revitalization
Improvements to the Tulane Avenue corridor to the tune of $10 million will likely begin next year in an area already seeing commercial growth, according to Regional Planning Commission officials.

“The project will significantly improve visual quality along the corridor and will enhance pedestrian and bicycle mobility and safety,” wrote Walter Brooks, executive director of the Regional Planning Commission, which oversees multiple parishes, including Orleans Parish.

The new Veterans Affairs campus sits along several blocks of Tulane Avenue, the facility is set to open in 2016!

Could this be an opportunity to remove the string of no-left turn signs that went up in the 1950s/1960s and drained businesses along this street of customers and revenue?
