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.

Benefits

Benefits of many types are expected to come from the creation of a greenway in the Lafitte Corridor:

  • Greater access to bike paths and walking trails serves the neighbors and general public by expanding transportation options, increasing public health* and providing much-needed open space in neighborhoods that often lack parks and other recreation facilities.
  • Access to trails can provide alternative routes to school for children. There are six reopened schools located within 1/4 mile of the trail.
  • Walking paths provide safe places for people to exercise and meet friends.
  • Bike paths provide safe routes for commuters on bikes.
