New Orleans City Park?

My D worked at the library just off City Park her last semester. She would load her bike on the bus, get off near City Park and ride the rest of the way. While vistajay’s workaround route does the job of avoiding the higher traffic (and sketchier) areas, it is pretty indirect. Which is fine if you want to have a nice bike ride and have the time. But dolphnlvr is right that there are a lot of incidents in that area, especially Holly Grove and just on the other side of Claibourne. I would get crime reports daily for that whole western half of Orleans Parish when my D was there and almost all the serious crime would be in that area. Of course there is much more crime in the eastern half of the Parish, but Tulane kids don’t get there much.

I would also suggest that your child check and see if there is a fishing club or something similar, or if they might want to start one. Then other transportation options might become available. Also might be able to gt to more interesting fishing spots on the weekends (not that there is anything wrong with City Park!).
