ROBERT E. LEE STREETSCAPE IMPROVEMENT PROJECT COMMUNITY MEETING NOTICE (DATE CORRECTION)


The City of New Orleans and MWH would like to invite you to a community meeting to discuss the upcoming streetscape enhancement project on Robert E. Lee Boulevard from St. Bernard Avenue to Paris Avenue. The project, which has a budget of $235,000, is funded by Community Development Block Grants.


A streetscape is a public improvement project that will enhance the public area and trigger subsequent recovery and investment in surrounding neighborhoods. This development is designed to help create additional and continued private investment in the City's key recovery areas. The streetscape is designed to benefit the surrounding neighborhood residents, business owners and visitors by providing amenities that contribute to economic vitality. Streetscape projects enhance the area surrounding the actual roadway, but do not include roadway repair or reconstruction. The current scope of work for the project may include:
Sidewalk, bikeway, driveway and other pedestrian surface walkway improvements
Traffic and pedestrian signalization and signage
Landscaping
Lighting
Public Art
Bus Shelters
Minor utility modifications and improvements
This community meeting is designed to offer local neighborhood residents the opportunity to provide input on the project and present any specific plans created by the community. For this community meeting, we ask that residents come prepared to voice their opinions on the design of this project.

WHERE:
Edgewater Baptist Church
5900 Paris Avenue

WHEN:
Thursday, March 19, 2009
6:30 p.m.
