Episode Details

New Orleans businesses are suing the Sewerage and Water Board over chaotic Decatur Street construction that’s crushed their operations—blocking access, killing foot traffic, and forcing three iconic spots to close permanently. What was promised as phased work became a full street shutdown with barricades everywhere, even where no work was happening. Owners demand barricades removed, pedestrian access restored, and strict new rules including 72-hour notice and 24/7 work on active sites. The Board defends the project, citing century-old pipes and unforeseen obstacles, while a city grant feels woefully inadequate to cover the damage.
