2022 French Quarter Streetlight Assessment

At the October meeting of the Board of Commissioners, the French Quarter Management District’s Livability Committee released their 2022 Streetlight Assessment with the full data set detailing the results of the walking survey. Field Data was collected between February and September of 2022.

The Committee established survey protocol that determined the condition of, and safety provided by the streetlights in the business and residential blocks within the boundaries of the French Quarter Management District and the French Quarter Economic Development District: the downriver side of Canal Street, the lake side of North Rampart Street, the downriver side of Esplanade Avenue to the Mississippi River. The prior assessment provided guidance but is replaced by this assessment in its entirety.
