Mardi Gras Park/Market Pavilion
Winning bids for this project were given yesterday. I spoke to one of the contractors who works with the winning bidder. It'll be a two-phase project. Phase one will include diagonal-cut parking on the perimeter at Royal Street, a circular drive and drop off area off Government, granite curbs, and drainage. There is some excavation of the basement left over from the courthouse to be done close to Royal Street as well. This phase is scheduled to begin on October 19th. The second phase will include construction of the Pavilion itself on Royal Street, and will begin upon completion of the first phase. Fountains, statues, etc. will be added on an ongoing basis. The first two phases are on a 200 day timeline. My understanding is that the start date in October is fairly firm as there is some BP money involved and they have to be underway by then in order to secure it. Thought y'all would like to know.
