Road construction on Broadway Street began on April 18 stretching from Fontainebleau Drive to Leake Avenue. Residents of Broadway Street were given notices to vacate their parking spots on the street this past week. The Paths to Progress program, sponsored by the state, is a transportation improvement program to restore and enhance more than 60 roadway segments in Orleans and Jefferson parishes. The Broadway segment was bid at $3,000,000. During the unspecified length of the construction, parking is prohibited on Broadway, with cars being towed at the owner’s expense.
