> 

> -- Homes along the Guerenger Canal on the east bank of the canal from

> ** This one seems to be the east side of Cougar Dr.

>  

> Correct- this is the area behind the homes on the east sidde of Cougar and

> possibly some of the east bank of the canal itself.

> 

> --Homes along the east side of the Chalmette Vista Canal to include  

> Village Square and the corridor from Judge Perez to the 40 arpent canal  

> along the canal.

> 

> **  The Chalmette vista canal sits between Kings and DeLaRonde. The side  

> on DeLaRonde containd the multiplexes, across the street is mostly  

> duplexes.

> 

> I don't understand the Village Square part.  This seems just to be stuck  

> in there to remove multifamily homes in the Village Square Area.  However,



> does this include the party-wall duplexes in the "parade" streets in the  

> back? Or is this just the large multi-plexes on Plantation and the like.

> 

> Utilizing the area as a drainage improvement may assist in attempting to

> alleviate some of the drainage problems in the area jsut west of the

canal.

> the amount of damage to many of the already poor conditioned properties is

> also a factor and the density of the area.  the doubles have not been

> included at this point, but there is other discussion about this that is

> ongoing.

> 

> --Homes adjacent to the 40 Arpent Canal in adjacent [sic] to the  

> Versailles Industrial Park to include streets north of E. Liberaux to the



> Delaronde Canal.

> 

> **  Why was this area being targeted?  I'm guessing because of  

> destruction.  This looks like Dubarry, Pierre, and E. Magnolia.  Plus the



> ends of the other large streets that terminate in that area.

> 

> Yes, because of the damage, the density, and the location.

>  

> 

> --Property along the east and west bank of the Delaronde from Judge Perez



> Dr. to the 40 Arpent Canal.

> 

> ** Golden and Delambert.  Understandable.

> 

> --Homes on the north side of Judge Perez Dr. on Munster Blvd. and Bartolo



> Dr.

> 

> ** I can only assume that this is for reasons of an oil buffer zone.  Why



> wasn't Judy Dr. North of JP and Jumonville North included in this?

> 

> A primary issue for these streets is the sewer treatment plant at the end

of

> these streets- with a potential consolidation of sewer treatment, this

issue

> 

> These seems to fit into three categories: drainage, oil buffer zone, and  

> (?)getting rid of Village Square.

> 

> Are they building levees around the canals?  Why obtain land around them?



> And only some of them--what about the 20 Aprent, Eikes, Guichard, Corinne,



> and Dubouchel canals?

> 

> There is not a design plabn at this point and the future of other canals

may

> be looked at as well as the plan comes together

>  

> The whole rebuilding discussion is a fluid process.

>  

> Any feedback that you would like to offer will be considered.
