Invite Your Neighbors to Come with You
Coffee on Your Corner is an information session during normal business hours responsive to residents who may be discouraged of attending public meetings outside of their communities and during evening hours. These forums give the community the opportunity to hear directly from city officials and representatives in an informal setting at local venues in their neighborhoods about city programs, initiatives and operations.
Ferry Hours Extended for Mardi Gras Parades
Ferry Hours Extended for Mardi Gras Parades
If you live in Old Algiers, you are probably used to the extra traffic as people venture to the area to park near the river and ride the ferry downtown for parades and festivities. The good news is that the hours will be expanded to serve the increased demand.
In general, the hours will increase from February 6 through February 17 so that parade-goers can get back and forth across the river before and after festivities. Remember that the cost of the ferry is $2 per person, per one-way trip. The ferry leaves on the half hour from Algiers Point and the quarter hour on the return trip. There will be two boats — pedestrian only — operating during peak hours. Visit www.nolaferries.com/carnival2015 for the full schedule.
February 6 – 6 a.m. to 11:15 p.m.
February 7 – 9 a.m. to 11:15 p.m.
February 8-10 – 6 a.m.- 9:45 p.m.
February 11-13 – 6 a.m. to 11:15 p.m.
February 14-15 – 5 – 9 a.m. to 12: 15 a.m.
February 16 – 6 a.m. – 12:15 p.m.
