🚨 EXCLUSIVE: Could the party street become a permanent pedestrian zone?
A new post-attack security report recommends turning the first 8 blocks of Bourbon Street into a car-free pedestrian plaza — warning that “any other configuration introduces risk.”
This follows the Jan. 1 vehicle-ramming attack that killed 14 and injured 57. Former NYPD Chief William Bratton’s firm led the investigation.
The changes would reshape one of New Orleans' most iconic streets. Tap the link in bio to see what else the report recommends.
