The Lafitte Greenway is continuing to grow and attract investment, according to several news stories this week in Nola.com and Uptown Messenger.

The city has another $500,000 earmarked for Greenway operations and security in its 2017 budget, and has a number of projects on the drawing board, including:

• Repurposing the former brake tag station at North Lopez Street and Lafitte Avenue into an outdoor pavilion with roll-up doors

• Building a 1,500-square foot clubhouse with public restrooms at Lemann Playground

• Demolishing the unused Department of Public Works traffic signal and sign shop at Lafitte Avenue and North White Street

• Demolishing the existing S&WB pump station at Broad and Toulouse streets and building a new pump station at Lafitte Avenue and North Dorgenois Street

• Reconstructing North Galvez Street from Lafitte Avenue to Bienville Street to replace an S&WB sewer force main.

There has also been a string of development along the Greenway, including three new houses by Atlas Greenway Partners, LLC on St Louis Street, directly facing the Greenway, the $4 million conversion of the former Times-Picayune building in to a shared work space by the New Orleans Redevelopment Fund.
