At an April 4 meeting that was supposed to be about a recent traffic study conducted by city contractor AECOM in connection with the Bourbon Street redevelopment project, frustrated French Quarter residents and business owners convened for a Festivus-style airing of grievances about the plan.

Organizers, including Mark Jernigan from the Department of Public Works and Derek Chisholm from AECOM, tried to maintain order by allowing comment only via comment cards, which were read aloud to the group.?
