How do people see St. Bernard?

Much of St. Bernard is poorly drained, wet, below sea level, and unsuitable for development.

Transportation

The Central Wetland Unit and the Mississippi are never more than 1 mile away from those driving along Judge Perez Drive and St. Bernard Highway...
Transportation Major Arteries

...but there are no easy routes for getting to and from the Mississippi and the Central Wetland Unit.

The Central Wetland Unit is a 10
minute drive from the French Quarter.

Recreational Space Usage

St. Bernard has developed as a collection of subdivisions.
A Fragmented Parish Subdivisions

The predominant street grid types isolate households and neighborhoods.

But can we create real neighborhoods in Arabi and Chalmette instead?

Strategy 1: Neighborhood Development
Strategy 2: Canal Groves
Strategy 3: 40 Arpent Zone
LLT Lot Strategies










LOCATION
Strategy 1: NEIGHBORHOOD DEVELOPMENT
Neighborhoods river-side of Patricia/Genie and not next to a canal corner lots, thrublocks, or close to a park or school SELECT
ACTION
residents choose locations for pocket parks, playgrounds, squares, or gardens BUILD pocket parks, playground, squares, and gardens along designated Green Grid streets
LONG TERM
CREATE St. Bernard Green Grid with parks, playgrounds, and street improvements
SELL remaining properties to develop additional housing
all other lots in neighborhood
SELL
bundle properties to private housing developers
BUILD homes CONTRIBUTE funding and resources towards NEIGHBORHOOD PARKS
RESTORE vibrant neighborhoods
Strategy 2: CANAL GROVES

Next to a Canal within .5 to 1.5 blocks; north of Judge Perez Drive PLANT low maintenance native ground cover and trees ESTABLISH groves of trees (like Heights Park or Pakenham Oaks)
Strategy 3: 40 ARPENT ZONE

North of Patricia/Genie within .5 to 1.5 blocks; north of Judge Perez Drive REZONE area as suburban agricultural and plant with lowmaintenance native ground cover; build Village Centers SELL bundled properties for agricultural, recreational, ecological uses adjacent to Village Centers CREATE commercial and recreational backbone for parish along 40 Arpent Canal
LLT Lot Strategies Decision Chart

There are 553 available lots in Canal
Grove zones. There are 1068 lots in the 40 Arpent zone.

This is 1/2 of the available
LLT lots.

Each community with its own identity, but all linked by the 40
Arpent Canal.
