[StBernard] Homes near 40 arpent canal need HELP!

[Westley Annis]

Well - I just don't understand the proposed plan by the parish.  The homes
closest to the 40 arpent canal are being ignored.  Our homes took the first
hit of the tidal surge but yet we are not in our parishes proposal for
mitigation.  What is up with this?  Homes near the 40 arpent canal have been
wiped clean off their foundations as well as knocked down to the ground but
it seems those in power are more concerned with Village Square than its
residents.  Why VIllage Square?  Why not homes near the 40 arpent canal
across the parish.  
 
Craig - can you tell me why the areas near the 40 arpent canal are not being
turned into some sort of green space to help with storm surge for future
hurricanes?  I'm just feeling really frustrated with the parish that I grew
up in and have loved so much.  
 
I have heard rumors about a Florida Avenue Corridor.  That may happen one
day but I'm not worried about one day I'm worried about TODAY!
