Dear Algiers Residents,
We are planning to film in the New
Orleans area Winter 2013. Our preparations on the 400 block of Park Blvd. will
be Tuesday, January 8th and Wednesday, January 9th.
Our filming will be Friday, January 11th, Monday, January 14th
through Wednesday, January 16th, and Friday, February 8th.
There will be preparation activity from Thursday, January 17th to
Thursday, February 7th. Restoration should be completed by
February 28th.
Although most of our trucks will be
parked on private lots, it will be necessary to hold some street parking for
continuity purposes. During our preparations, filming and restoration,
“No Parking” signs will be posted on the 300 & 400 Block of Lawrence
Street, the 400 Block of Park Blvd., and the 1100 Block of Teche Street.
The “No Parking” signs will be posted between 24 to 48 hours before the
restrictions begin, with police and security on hand. If you have any
concerns about parking or own a vehicle that is unable to move please call us
at the numbers below with any questions or concerns. We are frequently
able to find solutions for people with special parking needs. We are
aware that parking is at a premium in this area, and will remove all “No
Parking” signs when we finish work in this area.
Thank you in advance for allowing us to
film in your beautiful area. The key to New Orleans’s success as a premier
filming destination is the generosity and cooperation of the community. Please
feel free to contact us at any time so we can address your questions or
concerns regarding our proposed filming. Thank you again for your time
and consideration!
Sincerely,
