Pictures 381 and 382.

Several months before the end of the Canal Street streetcar line, the city began a project to narrow the neutral ground so as to widen the automobile lanes from Claiborne Avenue out to the end of the street at City Park Avenue.  These two March 1964 pictures show Canal Street as that project was under way.  The upper picture features car 919 near Rendon Street, the lower shows car 935 near Clark Street.
