At a two-part meeting Dec. 12, New Orleans Regional Transit Authority (RTA) presented a finalized, futuristic design for its new Canal Street ferry terminal and began gathering public comment for a nearby pedestrian bridge intended to help ferry riders cross the nearby New Orleans Public Belt Railroad tracks.

The meeting at New Orleans Public Library's main branch seemed designed to counteract blowback RTA incurred earlier this year, when members of the public criticized the organization for what they said was a failure to incorporate input from riders and residents in the terminal planning process.

"We want to hear what your vision is, what your hopes are, what your desires are," Bright Moments CEO Bill Rouselle, who is handling the project's public relations, said at the meeting.?
