Went to check out the future site of this massive project in New Orleans going forward under the tutelage of Hargreaves and Associates. I don't have much information on it, except the project is about 4.5 miles along the Mississippi. It is utilizing old wharfs all the way from the lower Garden District through the Quarter, the Marigny and the Bywater to the Naval Yard. The program includes integration of the trolley line, bike paths and pedestrian walkovers. The large levee wall prevented too much investigation in the section where we were, but the view and location is primo. Its an exciting project for the city. They need to make sure its for the city first and not bow down to the tourist dollar.
