Norman C. Francis Parkway

Norman C. Francis Parkway, formerly named Jefferson Davis Parkway or Jeff Davis Parkway, is a street in New Orleans, Louisiana, United States. It runs southwest from the head of Bayou St. John (near where it once joined to the Carondelet Canal, now the Lafitte Greenway) in the Mid-City neighborhood to Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard in the Gert Town neighborhood. Like most streets in New Orleans, the segment of the parkway to the north east of Canal Street is named "North" Norman C. Francis Parkway while the segment to the southwest is denoted as "South". The parkway is wide with a grassy median except for where it crosses over the Pontchartrain Expressway.
