Final Staff Report
CITY PLANNING COMMISSION CITY OF NEW ORLEANS MITCHELL J. LANDRIEU ROBERT D. RIVERS MAYOR EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR LESLIE T. ALLEY DEPUTY DIRECTOR City Planning Commission Staff Report Executive Summary Summary of Uptown and Carrollton Local Historic District Proposals: The Historic Preservation Study Committee Report of April 2016, recommended the creation of the Uptown Local Historic District with boundaries to include the area generally bounded by the Mississippi River, Lowerline Street, South Claiborne Avenue and Louisiana Avenue, and the creation of the Carrollton Local Historic District with boundaries to include the area generally bounded by Lowerline Street, the Mississippi River, the Jefferson Parish line, Earhart Boulevard, Vendome Place, Nashville Avenue and South Claiborne Avenue. These partial control districts would give the Historic District Landmarks Commission (HDLC) jurisdiction over demolition. Additionally, it would give the HDLC full control jurisdiction over all architectural elements visible from the public right-of-way for properties along Saint Charles Avenue between Jena Street and South Carrollton Avenue, and over properties along South Carrollton Avenue between the Mississippi River and Earhart Boulevard. Recommendation: The City Planning Commission staff recommends approval of the Carrollton and Uptown Local Historic Districts as proposed by the Study Committee. Consideration of the Study Committee Report: City Planning Commission Public Hearing: The CPC holds a public hearing at which the report and recommendation of the Study Committee are presented and the public is afforded an opportunity to consider them and comment. City Planning Commission’s recommendations to the City Council: Within 60 days after the public hearing, the City Planning Commission will consider the staff report and make recommendations to the Council. -
Riverfront Expressway Cancellation, Shuddering at the New Orleans That Could Have Been
Geographies of New Orleans Fifty Years After Riverfront Expressway Cancellation, Shuddering at the New Orleans That Could Have Been Richard Campanella Geographer, Tulane School of Architecture [email protected] Published in the New Orleans Picayune-Advocate, August 12, 2019, page 1. Fifty years ago this summer, reports from Washington D.C. reached New Orleans that John Volpe, secretary of the Department of Transportation under President Richard Nixon, had cancelled the Riverfront Expressway—the high-speed, elevated interstate slated for the French Quarter. The stunning news, about a wildly controversy plan that had divided the community for years, was met with elation by the city’s growing preservationist movement, and head-shaking disappointment by local leaders in both the public and private sectors. A half-century on, the cancellation and the original proposal invite speculation —part mental exercise, part cautionary tale—about what greater New Orleans might look like today had the Riverfront Expressway gone forward. And it very nearly did: conventional wisdom at the time saw the new infrastructure as an inevitable step toward progress, following the lead of many other waterfront cities, including New York, San Francisco, and Seattle. But first, a recap on how the New Orleans plan got to Volpe’s desk. Rendering from Robert Moses' Arterial Plan for New Orleans, 1946, page 11, courtesy collection of R. Campanella The initial concept for the Riverfront Expressway emerged from a post-World War II effort among state and city leaders to modernize New Orleans’ antiquated regional transportation system. Toward that end, the state Department of Highways hired the famous—many would say infamous—New York master planner Robert Moses, who along with Andrews & Clark Consulting Engineers, released in 1946 his Arterial Plan for New Orleans. -

SUMMER CAMPS Adaptive Sports and Inclusive Recreation Accessible Recreation Facilities
Recreation Resource Guide for the Gulf South Region SUMMER CAMPS Adaptive Sports and Inclusive Recreation Accessible Recreation Facilities Greater New Orleans Area Welcome! The Recreation Therapy program at Children’s Hospital New Orleans has developed a summer camp, adaptive sports, and accessible recreation resource guide for children with disabilities in the Louisiana area. This guide includes relevant contact information to get you started in your pursuit of recreation activities. Please keep in mind that the camps, sports, and recreational programs and facilities included in this guide are only a listing of the opportunities currently available and that the inclusion of a camp or program does not imply that we approve or recommend it. Always verify with the American Camping Association (http://www.acacamps.org/) and personally visit the camps and programs you are considering before deciding if it is right for your child. Also, it is recommended that you try your local fitness center, high school athletic department, or YMCA for opportunities to participate, as they may be able to make the necessary accommodations. Finally, as camps, adaptive sports, and accessible recreation programs are constantly opening and closing, some of these listings may change over time. If you would like to share any additional camps or leisure opportunities for children, please contact the Child Life Department at Children’s Hospital so that we can update the guide. We have made every effort to include every program available, but it is possible that some may have been overlooked. If you cannot find a program in Louisiana, contact national organizations and they may be able to help you get involved. -

2008 Survey of the Performance of American Elections November
2008 Survey of the Performance of American Elections November 2007 Final Report 1. Introduction and background This report describes the results of a November 2007 study that is the first major step leading to a nationwide survey in November 2008 to examine the experience of voters with the performance of the U.S. electoral system.1 The present study surveyed 1,500 respondents in Kentucky, Louisiana, and Mississippi about their voting experiences in those states’ recent gubernatorial elections. The purpose was two-fold — first, to gain general experience with asking a battery of questions concerning the electoral system across a set of states and, second, to pre-test questions that will ultimately appear on the November 2008 nationwide survey. The main substantive results from the November 2007 study may be summarized as follows: 1. Voters overall were satisfied with all aspects of the voting experience. 2. While there were performance differences across the three states on some of the performance measures, they tended to be small. There was no systematic evidence that any one state’s elections were run substantially better than another’s. 3. Non-whites reported less satisfaction with their voting experience than whites on many performance measures — it was more difficult finding the polling place, there were more problems with voter registration, lines were longer, the polling place was run less well, and poll workers were less helpful. Non-whites received more help voting than whites. Non-whites were less confident their votes were counted as cast than were whites. Some of these racial differences were state-specific, while others were not.
