Celebrate Arrival of New Ferryboat

Posted on by

New Ferry Boat

The big day is almost here!

WHAT:  Please join your friends and neighbors in welcoming our new Algiers/Canal St. ferry as it makes its way downriver to Chalmette where Coast Guard testing will be done prior to the boat going into service.

Just to be clear, the boat won’t stop, but bring something to wave:

  • A flag from your front porch
  • A second-line hankie
  • Your favorite Algiers-themed t-shirt, or “ferry” or “fairy” attire.
  • A musical instrument and repertoire of water-themed tunes
  • A picnic dinner and your favorite libation

WHY:   This party is just for fun– there’s no stage, no agenda, and no bells or whistles. Just a bunch of neighbors celebrating our new ferry!

WHEN: Tuesday, July 10th, 2018 – approximate arrival time: 6 to 8 p.m.  (The trip takes 10 hours from Jeanerette, but an exact arrival time cannot be determined until the boat passes through various locks along the way.)

WHERE: The batture land to the right of the Westbank ferry landing. (Site of Wednesdays on the Point.)

HOW:  Keep your eye on the APA Facebook page for real-time arrival time as the Captain calls with his location during the day on Tuesday.
See you on the levee!

Neighborhood Engagement Office

Introducing Community Office Hours
Location Updates as of August 6, 2018

In an effort to be as accessible and responsive as possible to residents, City Hall has established Community Office Hours. This new initiative is intended to provide an opportunity to discuss issues within the community, and give residents the opportunity for direct dialogue with City staff about interests and concerns.

The implementation of this initiative began on Monday, June 4, 2018, when City staff spent regular office hours on Mondays and Wednesday at various locations within the community.

Community Office Hours will enable City Hall to be accessible and helpful to more residents within neighborhoods. This effort will create a two-way street of effective communication and information flow for addressing neighborhood level issues.
