New Orleans City Council launches investigation into French Quarter security • Louisiana Illuminator
SUMMARY: The New Orleans City Council has initiated an investigation into the city’s street barrier systems following a New Year’s Day terrorist attack on Bourbon Street, where inadequate barriers allowed a suspect to harm many pedestrians. The investigation will assess the design, procurement, and maintenance of these barriers, and identify accountable parties. The council aims to improve future security rather than assign blame. The new barriers currently being installed are reportedly less effective than the previous ones. Council members emphasized the investigation’s goal is to enhance safety rather than scapegoating, with no defined timeline for its completion.
