Draft concepts for the SELA landscape implementation plan are developed based on guidance and input from city and state representatives and are now ready to be shared with the public.You are invited to attend an upcoming Open House presenting the conceptual designs and gathering public input to further refine the preferred design concept for each construction corridor.

The Open House will be held Tuesday, September 30, 2014 from 5pm to 8pm at the Salvation Army Meeting Room, 4526 S. Claiborne Avenue, New Orleans.

Draft concepts will be presented for the neutral ground along:
