Overview
Task 3 Overview
The purpose of Task 3 is to provide a detailed assessment of the existing physical, functional and regulatory
conditions of the Greater New Orleans Biosciences Economic Development District (GNOBEDD). The analysis
is based on a detailed review of existing data, plans, reports and other information collected during Task 1,
Stakeholder Interviews, and Task 2, Data Gathering. The analysis is divided into eight sections: Biosciences
District Overview; Community and Social Context; Urban Design; Traffic Analysis; Utilities; Sustainability; and
Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats (SWOT) Analysis. Section 2, Biosciences District Overview,
provides an overview of the existing conditions within the Biosciences District, including its physical and
regulatory context. Detailed assessments on the community and social infrastructure, urban design as
it relates to the areas around the proposed VA Hospital and University Medical Center (UMC) hospital
campuses, traffic , utilities, sustainability and a SWOT analysis are provided in subsequent sections.
The vision of the Biosciences District

is to: Build a globally competitive
economy for the New Orleans region
to diversify our opportunities and
build a community through innovation
that contains the healthiest, safest,
smartest, and most sustainable
neighborhoods in America.

an analysis of New Orleans’ tree canopy in 2002. The
analysis found that 24% of the metropolitan area was
covered by tree canopy, 33% was impervious surfaces;
28% was open space (not tree covered); and 12%
was water. Using an aerial from December 2009, the

the river/lake direction for the length of Canal Street,
from the intersection of the Riverfront streetcar line on
the river to the Cemeteries Terminal at City Park Avenue
where it provides transfers to bus lines continuing to the
lake and into Jefferson Parish. It also has a spur on N.

Riverfront, and St. Charles lines, but the St. Charles cars
can operate on other lines only during emergencies and
only to reach the heavy maintenance facility on Willow
