One of the things I love most about Bayou St. John is the small parks and green spaces sprinkled throughout the neighborhood. Alcee Fortier Park is the largest and best known, thanks to the massive taxi lines that stand alongside it at each Jazz Fest. This park, along with many of the other smaller green spaces throughout the neighborhood, is triangular. This is due to the irregular street patterns in the area.If one looks on a map, there is a noticeable change in the street patterns starting at Ursuline and Crete Streets. It leads up to the Grand Route St John and the beginning of the Fairgrounds neighborhood. These historic roads lead to or from Moss street; and the bayou to historic Bayou Road.Their importance is in transporting goods and services to New Orleans, located to the south, and formerly entirely separate from this sleepy Bayou community. The cone-like formation created by these streets comes to a point on Moss Street between Desoto and Grand Rte St John and is often referred to as the Esplanade Triangle.
