Projects

Referred to by many names—the Lafitte Corridor, the Lafitte Greenway, the Old Carondelet Basin, the Carondelet Walk, etc.—this strip of land connecting the French Quarter with Bayou St. John and Lake Pontchartrain has a long history of linking various neighborhoods and could once again serve the city as an inviting and uniting public park.

Friends of Lafitte Corridor

Some of the folks working to create a public greenway linking the French Quarter and Treme with Mid-City and Bayou St. John have formed a citizen group to work on the project. The group, Friends of Lafitte Corridor (FOLC), has set up a yahoo group. Learn how you can help make the Lafitte Greenway a reality at the FOLC website.
