Riverfront Expressway Cancellation, Shuddering at the New Orleans That Could Have Been
Geographies of New Orleans Fifty Years After Riverfront Expressway Cancellation, Shuddering at the New Orleans That Could Have Been Richard Campanella Geographer, Tulane School of Architecture [email protected] Published in the New Orleans Picayune-Advocate, August 12, 2019, page 1. Fifty years ago this summer, reports from Washington D.C. reached New Orleans that John Volpe, secretary of the Department of Transportation under President Richard Nixon, had cancelled the Riverfront Expressway—the high-speed, elevated interstate slated for the French Quarter. The stunning news, about a wildly controversy plan that had divided the community for years, was met with elation by the city’s growing preservationist movement, and head-shaking disappointment by local leaders in both the public and private sectors. A half-century on, the cancellation and the original proposal invite speculation —part mental exercise, part cautionary tale—about what greater New Orleans might look like today had the Riverfront Expressway gone forward. And it very nearly did: conventional wisdom at the time saw the new infrastructure as an inevitable step toward progress, following the lead of many other waterfront cities, including New York, San Francisco, and Seattle. But first, a recap on how the New Orleans plan got to Volpe’s desk. Rendering from Robert Moses' Arterial Plan for New Orleans, 1946, page 11, courtesy collection of R. Campanella The initial concept for the Riverfront Expressway emerged from a post-World War II effort among state and city leaders to modernize New Orleans’ antiquated regional transportation system. Toward that end, the state Department of Highways hired the famous—many would say infamous—New York master planner Robert Moses, who along with Andrews & Clark Consulting Engineers, released in 1946 his Arterial Plan for New Orleans.

Vol II issue 1 Vol. II, issue 1 1 Photo / Bob Compton Where is Beat Street? There is a place in New Orleans, a figurative address that is home to all that is real. New Orleans Beat Street is the home of jazz. It is also the residence of funk and the blues; R&B and rock ‘n’ roll live here, too. When zydeco and Cajun music come to town, Beat Street is their local address. Beat Street has intersections all over town: from Uptown to Treme, from the Ninth Ward to the French Quarter, from Bywater to the Irish Channel, weaving its way through Mid-City and all points Back o’ Town. Beat Street is the Main Street in our musical village. It is where we gather to dine and to groove to live music in settings both upscale and downhome. Beat Street is where we meet to celebrate life in New Orleans with second line parades, festivals and concerts in the park.

Mardi Gras Parade in the French Quarter Or Enjoy Jazz on Every Street Corner While Sipping Your Cocktail from a 'To-Go' Cup
WELCOME IN NEW ORLEANS Music city New Orleans is the largest city in the US state of Louisiana. The city is popular for its parties, events and culture. Watch a Saints game in the Superdome, a Mardi Gras parade in the French Quarter or enjoy jazz on every street corner while sipping your cocktail from a 'to-go' cup. Enjoy the Creole and Cajun cuisine and discover the casual and relaxed atmosphere of New Orleans through this course! VIDEO We start with a video to bring you a New Orleans atmosphere! MULTICULTURAL METROPOLIS: Many cultures made New Orleans: Cajun and Creole. French and Spanish. German. Latino, Irish and African. Whether it’s the accent, the food, the music or the architecture, this city is one of the most unique in the world thanks to the contributions made by the people who built it. UNIQUE WALKABLE CITY: If you’re staying in the French Quarter, Downtown or in the Arts/Warehouse District, you will be able to walk to all of your destinations. New Orleans also offers other charming, unique ways to get around including our historic streetcar (one of America’s only mobile national monuments), traveling back in time on a horse and carriage ride, or taking in the views of the Mississippi River on a paddlewheel riverboat. CUISINE AS A REFLECTION OF THE CULTURE: The New Orleans dining scene is a brilliant reflection of the city’s diverse history, culture and neighborhoods. Plenty of traditional New Orleans dishes emerged from different cultural influences. Try the muffuletta (an Italian sandwich invented in New Orleans with cured meats, cheese, olive dressing and great bread), gumbo (claiming French and West African roots, a thick stew served over rice and made with a roux - mixture of butter and flour - and a wide variety of ingredients such as celery, peppers, okra, onions chicken, sausage and/or seafood), jambalaya (a reconstructed Spanish paella, this dish is comprised of a mix of meat – chicken, seafood, sausage or all three! – peppers, onions, other vegetables, spices and rice), and more.

A Week in New Orleans New Orleans Is a City Full of Inherent Tourist Draws to Keep Any Visitor Enamored F
NEW ORLEANS A Week In New Orleans New Orleans is a city full of inherent tourist draws to keep any visitor enamored for a long stay, but when I travel, I personally like to have an inside scoop on what locals like to do. As a native of my beloved city, please allow me to introduce you to some of my favorite things to do in New Orleans. Monday: New Orleans has a peerless cocktail pedigree (the French 75, the Sazerac, the Old Fashioned, the Grasshopper, the Ramos Gin Fizz, the Pimm’s Cup.) My favorite spots to try these cocktails include: The Napoleon House (500 Chartres / (504) 524-9752), French 75 Bar (813 Bienville St. / 504-523-5433), or Cane & Table (1113 Decatur St /(504) 581-1112.) At The Hermes Bar in the annex of Antoine’s Restaurant (713 St Louis Street / (504) 581-4422) you can order from the oldest menu in town. My favorites are: Oysters Rockefeller, Oysters a la Foche, Shrimp Remoulade, Crabmeat Ravigote and Baked Alaska (a dessert, which you must order when you order your cocktails as it takes time to prepare). Afterward, listen to my dear friend, Ben Jaffe, blow his tuba and play the bass with his band: The Preservation Hall Jazz Band at Preservation Hall (726 St Peter Street / (504) 522-2841), a classic institution with live jazz at 8pm, 9pm and 10pm. Pre-purchase your tickets to avoid the line at www.preservationhall.com While Preservation Hall doesn’t serve alcohol, they allow you to bring in cocktails. Children are welcome.

Known around the world for its food, nightlife, architecture and history, it can be difficult for visitors to decide where to go and what to do. This guide provides recommendations from seasoned locals who know the ins-and-outs of the finest things the city has to offer. "Antoine’s Restaurant is the quintessential classic New Orleans restaurant. The oldest continuously operated family owned restaurant in the country. From the potatoes soufflé to the Baked Alaska with café Diablo for dessert, you are assured a memorable meal." (713 St. Louis Street, New Orleans, LA 70130 (504) 581-4422) Carmelite Bertaut "My favorite 100+ year old, traditional French Creole New Orleans restaurant is Arnaud’s. It's a jacket required restaurant, but has a causal room called the Jazz Bistro, which has the same menu, is right on Bourbon Street, and has a jazz trio playing in the corner of the room." (813 Bienville Avenue, New Orleans, LA 70112 (504) 523-5433) Scott Whittaker "The food at Atchafalaya is delicious and the brunch is my favorite in the city. The true standout of the brunch is their build-your-own bloody mary bar. It has everything you could want, but you must try the bacon." (901 Louisiana Avenue, New Orleans, LA 70115 (504) 891-9626) Maurine Wall "Chef John Besh’s restaurant August never fails to deliver a memorable fine dining experience.
