New Orleans City Council kills cap on Bourbon Street strip clubs


A proposal to cap the number of strip clubs on Bourbon Street?s seven-block entertainment strip has failed, a victory for dancers who have been squeezed out of jobs following recent raids and another blow to Mayor Mitch Landrieu?s sweeping public safety plan.

The New Orleans City Council failed to pass the cap by a vote of 4 to 3 on March 22, following years of study and debate at City Hall and several raids of Bourbon Street clubs.

Several dancers and club workers spoke against the measure, which they argued further criminalizes an already-marginalized work and will limit job availability, pushing dancers into potentially unsafe clubs across parish and state lines that don?t share Bourbon?s regulatory efforts.?
