Mayor LaToya Cantrell is considering changing the start of parade routes for more than a dozen krewes across the city.
Cantrell says the proposal deals with the worker shortage on the city’s public safety teams, including officers and paramedics.
One carnival historian says the proposal delivers a major impact to more than half of the Orleans parish parades by shortening parade routes, which affects the experience for riders and businesses along the route.
Cantrell says a decision will not be made until she meets with her advisory council.
