Zoning Issues In Mid City
Zoning Issues in Mid-City
As with most areas around the city, zoning is a major issue for potential business and residential owners. In particular is the focus on street conditions around potential property. As defined by the Office of Policy Planning Neighborhood Profiles Project, street conditions are rated and judged by the following variables; pot holes, large holes, cracks, bumps, sinking, tilting, rolling, crumbling, tracks, and shell filling. These items are then rated by a field survey on a classification system, depending on their severity. The categories were divided into 6 divisions, (1) Little or No Need for Repair, (2) Minor Need for Repair, (3) Moderate Need for Repair, (4) Serious Need for Repair, (5) Critical Need for Repair, and (6) Not Surfaced or Surveyed. According to this survey, a classification of "Moderate Need for Repair" is the city average block condition. Thus, a classification above "moderate" is better than the city average, and a classification below "moderate" is worse than the city average.
Beginning with the largest street in Mid-City, Canal, the portion extending from N. Broad to City park Avenue, weighed in as requiring "Minor to Moderate Need for Repair", due in large part to the remodeling and extension of the streetcar system. Other main streets categorized in the same way are Tulane Av., N. Broad, Bienville, N. Jefferson Davis Parkway, and N. Carrolton Av., whereas Banks listed as a "Moderate Need for Repair" between Jefferson Davis Parkway and the Ponchartrain Expressway, but many blocks past Jefferson parkway to N. Broad list as "Critical Need For Repair". Other streets requiring "Serious to Critical repair" are D'Hemecourt, Baudin, Ulloa, Iberville, and Conti. In fact, nearly 59% of the streets fall between Serious Need (24%) and Critical Need (35%). The cross-streets of S. Clark, Genois, Telemachus, Cortez, Scott, Pierce, Solomon, Hennessey, Alexander, Murat, Olympia, St. Patrick,...
