Fix on the way for alleyway at center of dispute between French Truck Coffee, city-parish
A fix could be coming soon to a battered public alleyway behind French Truck Coffee in Mid City, bringing an end to the owner’s monthslong quest to get it repaired.
French Truck Coffee owner Geoffrey Meeker, who first asked the city-parish to fix the alley last summer, put up a sign next to the passageway late last week, chastising the city-parish and urging people to call the Department of Public Works to complain. The sign says the city-parish “won’t fix it and won’t let us,” and asks “where are our tax (dollars)?”
“It wasn’t in great shape to begin with,” Meeker says of the alleyway. “Then with the delivery trucks, garbage trucks and customers going in there, it has gotten progressively worse.”
Customers have to drive down the alley, which is littered with large potholes, to get to the parking lot in the rear of the coffee shop.
