Varg reports on the recent conversation between Ed Blakely, New Orleans recovery czar, and Algiers citizens.
… Of that 60 percent is bonded 260 million dollars. A very significant portion of that is going to come (Algiers) way, said Blakely. We are going to do cable drive MacArthur, Berkely, Patterson, on and on, Holiday, Whitney, Woodland, etcetera, there’s a long list of streets, drives and so forth, DeGaulle ¦we“re going to do this ¦ this is the city“s money, not federal money. This is going to start within the year.
I like this talk. Saying what“s going to happen, when it’s going to happen. What can be expected, not what needs to happen if …
If only this were detailed so strongly for the rest of the city.
