STANDARD LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY OF LOUISIANA

CLAIBORNE AVENUE, NEW ORLEANS


The classic pylon sign remains, the building is long shuttered.

Despite the popularity of and increased focus on Treme, Claiborne Avenue remains haunted by the freeway rammed through it.

The 1968 Interstate-10 Claiborne Expressway, a massive, elevated highway bisects the town.

Its endless concrete pillars further devastated the existing structure, character and vitality of several core-city neighborhoods.

We believe the freeway should be demolished in the city core, homes and jobs built in its place – and the Rampart Street Car line extended, bus service improved and connectivity enhanced along Claiborne Ave.
