Hebert: I have participated in several RideNOLA community meetings to discuss and weigh in on transportation issues in New Orleans East. Input from the community in addressing the Strategic Mobility Plan did address the most important issues from polls as frequency and reliability. In addition, Bus service from New Orleans East is more expensive due to Express Bus routes. I provide input to advocate for increased bus service, especially on the four lines that travel into the city in New Orleans East and the three lines in the Lower 9th Ward. I am a proponent adding additional stops, making the APP available to track bus locations and adding another NIGHTOWL line for residents of New Orleans East, by attending these meetings and speaking up for the residents of my community.
Hebert: I would advocate for an additional percentage of these dollars are returned to the City of New Orleans. Our Representatives at the state level are needed to push for the change in legislation in protect the unique culture that bring tourist to our city time and again. The Office of Cultural Economy, the Tourism board and the AFLCIO should be an essential part in working with our musicians, artists, and culture bearers to set pay scales for their contribution to making New Orleans a tourism destination.
Hebert: I would support these establishments by encouraging them to list their businesses and activities on the GONOLA and tourism websites. In addition, attend events as I am a true New Orleans girl and enjoy surrounding myself with our unique community members.
Hebert: I would encourage community activities and work with these groups to encourage visits to schools to educate the children on the many diverse cultural entertainment groups. The local government should recognize these talented individuals and highlight their accomplishments throughout the year.
Hebert: I would encourage the continuation of music/dance/art lessons at NORDC. As a child, I attended Dance lessons at the NORD center on Broad St along with my friends and is was a very rewarding experience that provided a lasting memory.
Hebert: I would advocate for the continuation of musical/cultural traditions in our schools and encourage elders to visit our schools regularly to open the eyes of our youth as to the uniqueness of our communities. Many of our elders find great pleasure in sharing and teaching our youth on their special talents.
Hebert: Yes
