INTRACOASTAL, La - A new parking payment option has been introduced at the Intracoastal City Boat Launch. The Just Park app aims to enhance the parking process, offering a convenient cashless method for users.
Local resident Ted Morgan, owner of Shell Morgan, a nearby fuel dock and towboat company, believes the app is beneficial for many. “I think it’s excellent because not everyone wants to carry cash,” Morgan said. However, he personally prefers cash, stating, “I think it’s good for people that like a credit card, but I’m just a cash person. A lot of times, a credit card is inconvenient.”
Other locals were unfamiliar with the addition. Crabber Travis Duhon from Delcambre, who visits the area three times a week, said, “I’ve never seen it before.” When asked about his thoughts on the app, he responded, “I don’t know,” and added that despite the convenience, he would likely continue using cash. “I’ll probably use cash because it’s easier,” Duhon noted.
On a recent visit, I tested the Just Park app myself. After scanning the QR code and entering the location ID, I was able to complete my payment seamlessly. Regardless of whether users opt for cash or the app, the daily parking rate remains fixed at $5.
