## Resource

French Quarter businesses win big after a court-ordered settlement with the Sewerage and Water Board, ending months of disruption on Decatur Street. The agreement mandates removal of unnecessary barricades within ten days, a six-month pause on water shutoffs in the zone, and faster pedestrian crossing installations. Businesses now have legal recourse to challenge unjust blockages—with the water board required to respond in three days or face judicial review. The agency vows to finish the project, restore normalcy, and provide weekly updates via a dedicated website. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
