Hey all, this coming THURSDAY Dec 13th at 2:00 PM we will be meeting once again at the Lopez/Lafitte Bridge to finish the bike path. Folks have been stoked on it, and its a blast to ride on, even though its not finished. If I can get ahold of a grill we will grill out afterwards. Bring what you can, here's the work to be done:
putting down last pieces of plywood (bring screws, nails, hammers)
painting (bring colors you like + brushes)
talking about other ideas + next projects!
see you then, email if you have questions or suggestions
...on a side note:

| Rendering of St Bernard Ave + Claiborne intersection. Imagine what it would feel like to be on your bike or on foot in this situation, instead of viewing from your helicopter. Also, consider what it would take on the outset to create this more inviting human-scaled corridor, as well as how it would affect the neighboring areas (from nola.com) |
Claiborne Ave
redevelopment is on the table, from Napoleon all the way to Elysian,
and stretching much beyond. This is first time DOT + HUD have worked
together like this, so a lot of folks are watching + its outcomes could
be replicated. Public input in land use planning has been mandated since 2010 as a result of the citywide Master Plan. The first phases of the public input sessions have begun, and will be continued and refined until August 2013... upcoming public input sessions:
- Dec. 11, 6 to 8 p.m., at Christian Unity Baptist Church. 1700 Conti St., for the Iberville, Treme/Lafitte and 7th Ward neighborhoods.
