  • 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.

  • Electric Avenue Our Own Champs-Élysées Was Once Extraordinary—And Could Be Again
    Cityscapes: A Geographer's View of the New Orleans Area Electric Avenue Our Own Champs-Élysées Was Once Extraordinary—and Could Be Again Richard Campanella New Orleans Times-Picayune, June 10, 2018 Only one major artery in New Orleans connects the Mississippi River and Lake Pontchartrain with a single, straight, nearly longitudinal line. Unusually wide and grassy, the avenue spans the city’s full geographical gamut, from natural levee to former backswamp, to ridge, former marsh, and manmade lakefront. Historically, it witnessed growth from the Napoleonic Age to the Space Age. Architecturally, it hosts everything from an 1820 Creole cottage, to 1850s Greek Revival storehouses, to 1890s Victorian Italianate shotguns, to 1920s Spanish Villas, to 1960s ranch houses and post-Katrina houses jacked up on pilings. Demographically, it’s a cross-section of local society, in terms of class, race, and nativity, running from the gentrified historic districts at its foot to the middle-class families of Gentilly, to the suburban-feeling Lakefront and UNO campus. Spatially, its axial position drove the geometry of fully six square miles of subdivisions and nearly every street, block and lot therein, while also giving it convenient access to major east-west arteries. The avenue is Elysian Fields, and in my estimation, it’s one of the most interesting and least appreciated corridors in the metropolis, one that has the potential to live up to the grandeur of its name. I’ll leave the urban planning ideas for another time; my purpose here is to recount how this sui generis pathway came into place, and perhaps that history will spawn ideas of how—or Drone photo of Elysian Fields Avenue by Lorenzo Serafini Boni 2017 whether—to make this place more special.
