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.

Planning & Design

The best introduction to plans and ideas for the Lafitte Greenway is our vision plan, published in December, 2007. Click here to download the plan and learn more.

The rest of our Planning & Design section features images that help us envision what the Lafitte Corridor can become. We invite contributions from many sources and public feedback as well.

The following design concepts are from the University of Missouri – Kansas City‘s Urban Planning & Design Dept and specifically from Jacob Wagner, Assistant Professor of Architecture, Urban Planning & Design and his students.
