Tulane Avenue improvements coming in August
 

http://media2.fdncms.com/gambit/imag...162/tulane.jpg When officials with the Regional Planning Commission first announced a $10 million beautification project to a stretch of Tulane Avenue in Mid-City, they described a plan that would ?significantly improve visual quality? along the corridor, as well as enhance pedestrian and bicycle mobility and safety.

Five years and nearly $5 million later, officials still tout final plans for a safer, wider street reduced from six lanes to four, thanks to improvements that will extend from South Carrollton to South Claiborne avenues.

What didn?t make the cut, however, are features that could have helped ?reinvent? Tulane Avenue, as neighbors had hoped.
