New Orleans Bikeshare Program Surpasses 300,000 Rides
“Blue Bikes is a proven transportation solution that is revolutionizing the way that residents of New Orleans move around town. Seeing families, workers and visitors embrace this fun, affordable, and healthy way to explore our city is a clear message that New Orleanians are committed to building a more equitable and sustainable future, one pedal at a time.”
I think the single most uncomfortable spot on the Lafitte Greenway is where it crosses under I-10. They should tear that monstrosity down like yesterday.

New Orleans 'Bonnabel Greenway' will connect the lake to Metairie Road. Some worry it's not safe.
"Van Vrancken said the “Bonnabel Greenway” path, which weaves around the oak trees on the neutral ground, was a fitting compromise. Though it is technically a walking path, it was designed to so it can easily be expanded into a bike path when more money becomes available."

They give up an unbelievable amount of space to car storage in the French Quarter. #NewOrleans #BanCars
New Orleans: B-. Excellent ebike share program, and the Lafitte Greenway is a gem. But the French Quarter is just about unnavigable: street signs are a rarity, half the roads are tooth-rattling bumpy, and everything is one-way. Some of the roads are too small to accommodate a bike AND a car, so you have to wait in a line of ten cars trying to get through.
They won't be taking Claiborne down in New Orleans, unfortunately. But $500k is a pittance for upgrading, so at least they shouldn't be widening it.

How New Orleans Revived — and Improved — Bike Share

By September 2021, residents were kicking their legs over 500 shiny new rides in neighborhoods throughout New Orleans. Since then, they’ve made more than 289,000 trips."
