The city is paving the 1300 block of Gravier Street, behind the library and the Hutchinson garage. If the street is blocked off on Sunday, Jan. 26, please use the alternative parking option in the LaSalle garage, which is the garage across from the Tulane Emergency Room. 
 
Universal Parking manages the LaSalle garage and will have exit gate arms in the up position. Those with valid Tulane Splash Card IDs who have parked in the garage will not have to pay to exit the garage. Those with Hutchinson contracts will still have to pull a ticket to gain access into the garage off of LaSalle Street. FYI: The exit leads out to Villere Street.
 
This alternative parking option will be in place by noon on Sunday, Jan. 26 and will remain in effect  through Monday, Jan. 27 if the Gravier Street entrance to Hutchinson is still not accessible.
