Quick Facts

FOLC was founded in 2006. We have been advocating to preserve and revitalize the Lafitte Corridor and adjacent neighborhoods via the creation of a greenway. Read about our mission.

The City of New Orleans has contracted with Design Workshop to plan, design and construct a greenway in the Lafitte Corridor.

The official project website is: LafitteCorridorConnection.com.

This gallery includes photos from a trail in Victoria (British Columbia) as well as examples from other places where trails run next to active railroads.

Certainly it will be a challenge, but this project entails many challenges. Examples of successes elsewhere can help us focus on solutions.

Thanks to Luton for sharing these great photos.
