Has anyone heard about this?

Yeah, it's supposed to go down Rampart/St Claude to Press, then back down St. Claude to Elysian Fields and around the Quarter. That's Phase II of the project... phase I (Canal to the UPT via Loyola) was funded in the first round of TIGER, and NORTA applied for a TIGER II grant for the second phase. They didn't receive the grant, though, so they'll probably have to submit a request through the regular New Starts process.
