As someone who rode a bike and lived car-free in NOLA for several years, I'm glad to see DPW really taking the lead on these under Cantrell.

Does look like they are building something firs class that can be very useful and emphasize safety. Curious to see what route they go with the bike share since Uber pretty much through the whole business model out the window and pawned it off to Lime which only does scooters.
Heres an example of how they are redoing some roadways starting this Fall
