However, with Mardi Gras weekend upon us, Jefferson Street had no chance to rest this past Sunday night.

Basically, the establishments were be forced to pay an additional "police tax" due to the amount of additional security needed in the district on it's busiest nights. Reason being, Lafayette Police say that the additional security was draining it's overtime budget.

In recent years we have seen better lighting, better road ways, and several other eye catching improvements.
