03/28/25   “Neighborhood Passes” to be discontinued…   “Neighborhood Passes” that have been issued in past years to residents of  Oakmont Place, Briarfield subdivision, Maison d’Orleans apartments, Grande View apartments, Pointe Breeze and Edgewater Park will no longer be issued for Spring Break and Cruisin’ the Coast. Over a decade ago, the Coliseum, at times, would offer a “shortcut” from their west parking lot gate on Pine Grove to Beauvoir Road. Neighborhood Passes were checked at both ends of the shortcut to verify the driver was a resident of one of those neighborhoods.  The shortcut was discontinued years ago.    Hear the discussion on this topic
