Carrollton-Riverbend Neighborhood Association (CRNA)

Please plan to attend this year’s Night Out Against Crime event on Tuesday, August 7 at 6:30 in the Castellon parking lot, in conjunction with the Oak Street/Main Street program. We hope to have door prizes, activities for children, music, and the cooperation of both the police and fire departments. Anyone wanting to help should contact Gordon at gcagnolatti@gmail.com

Part of this year’s Night Out program involves each neighborhood picking a particular intersection to target for improvement over the course of the next year. Tentatively, the Leonidas and Hickory intersection is the choice for our neighborhood.

See you there.  Bring a neighbor!

Just a reminder that in some neighborhoods the City requires residents to have a parking permit and restricts the parking time for non-residents. In our neighborhood this certainly applies to the Riverbend area. It may also apply to the Oak Street shopping area, although I am not certain about that.

If you own rental property in an affected area don’t forget to tell your tenants about this.

The permits are issued annually. The Residential Permit Parking (RPP) office is now at 1340 Poydras St., 8th floor, NOLA 70112. The director is Ms. Diane Darwin. Phone #: 658-8200. Hours: M – F, 9 – 4.  The cost is $15.00/year.  Students can get a $5.00 semester permit.
More info: RPP   Note that the address is wrong on the City’s site.  I did not find a list of  areas that require permits.
Thanks to Marilyn Barbera for bring this up.
