Carrollton Avenue, New Orleans, LA
Carrollton Avenue, New Orleans, LA is a broad tree-covered avenue, with a large median (or neutral ground to locals) for most of its length. Riverside of South Claiborne Avenue, Carrollton has one lane of traffic and one lane of parking in each direction. The St. Charles Streetcar Line also runs along this section before turning onto St. Charles Avenue in the Riverbend. The landmark Camellia Grill is located near the streetcar turn. This section of the road is mostly residential with the exception of the commercial area of Riverbend. The Carrollton neighborhood was once an independent city and Carrollton Avenue was known as Canal Street in the city plans, so named because at the time it terminated at the New Basin Canal. The name was later changed to avoid confusion with Canal Street in downtown New Orleans.
