CAMBRONNE STREET
Corner of Cambronne and Claiborne - 8415 Claiborne Avenue
there are multiple vehicles inside his yard and on the side of the house on Cambronne...a trailer and an old dump truck. It looks like a junk yard and we would like him to clean it up...anything you can do? He has been notorious for parking abandon vehicles on Cambronne and we have managed to get them towed, so now he is just dragging them inside his fenced yard.
This is NOT a commercially zoned property. How many cars can one person drive?

What's it going to take?
2010 will start the 3rd year that we have complained about this property.
Please fine the owner of the property at 2940 Joliet.
The sand on the lot is too high. The Joliet Street sidewalk was completely covered with sand, until the recent FEMA repairs.
The sand WILL wash over the sidewalk and completely cover the drain. AGAIN!!!! It is only a matter of time.
The Fig Street sidewalk and drain is completely covered over and unpassable.
The container on the lot has been there WAY longer than 3 months or 6 months

FEMA Sidewalk repairs = my new driveway
How long do you think the sidewalk is going to last when it is used as a parking lot?
How many people do you think can use the sidewalk when cars are parked on it?
How soon are you going to start ticketing to raise funds for the city and stop existing infrastructure from getting trashed?

Priestley building
We understand the Orleans Parish School Board has hired someone to appraise its vacant property for the purpose of selling the property. Please write or email the OPS superintendent and urge him to include the Carrollton neighborhood in any discussions regarding the Priestley property on Leonidas. Carrollton United, together with the surrounding neighborhood has been urging the use of the building for an elementary school and community center. Copy Woody Koppel, President of the School Board.

Safety Tips from NOPD
PERSONAL SAFETY
Stay alert and tuned in to your surroundings, wherever you are.
Don’t be taken by surprise. Be aware and be prepared.
Stand tall and walk confidently. Don’t show fear. Don’t look like a victim.
Trust your instincts. If you feel uncomfortable in a place or situation, leave right away and get help if necessary.
IN YOUR CAR
Always lock your car and take the keys, even if you’ll be gone only a short time.
Lock doors while driving.
If you’re coming or going after dark, park in a well-lit area that will still be well-lit when you return.
Leave only your ignition key with a parking attendant. Don’t leave your house key, garage door opener, or other important items in your car.
Control your keys. Never leave an identification tag on your key ring. If your keys are lost or stolen, it could help a thief locate your car and burglarize your home.
If carrying packages or valuable items, store them in your trunk. If you do leave packages, clothing or other articles in the car; make sure they are out of sight.
SAFE AT HOME
Make sure that all doors to the outside are metal or solid, 1 ¾" hardwood.
Make sure all doors to the outside have good, sturdy locks.
Use the locks you have. Always lock up your home when you go out, even if it’s only for a few minutes.
Secure sliding glass doors with commercially available bars or locks, or put a wooden dowel or broomstick in the door track.
Make sure your windows, especially at ground level, have good locks and use them.
Make sure all porches and other possible entrances are well-lit.
Trim any bushes or trees that hide doors or windows. Keep ladders, tools, toys, and recreational equipment inside when you’re not using them.
Don’t hide your house keys under the doormat or in a flowerpot. It’s much wiser to give an extra key to a trusted neighbor.
Don't leave your car keys in plain view, on a desk, or in a purse. If someone breaks in they might also take your vehicle if the keys are found.
Think carefully before buying a firearm for protection. Guns can be stolen and sold to anyone, or captured and used on you or the police. If you do own a gun, keep it locked up, with the ammunition secured separately, and learn how to use it safely.

8300 Block of Claiborne
In the 8300 Block of Claiborne 2 problem properties sit side by side.
The first house, a double, at 8315 & 8317 S. Claiborne can still be saved. But it has open windows and trash and high grass. And surprise, surprise, it has a Metairie-based owner:
KATHRYN P BORDELON
3408 CLIFFORD DR
METAIRIE LA 70002
The next house a single, at 8325 S. Claiborne seems pretty hopelessly rundown and unstable.
The assessor's web site says the owner lives here. We don't see how anyone can or should live in this house.
The lot next to this house is consistenly covered with high grass and weeds.

Ramped corner to no where - Fig & Joliet
We have more than one lovely sign indicating that minor streets and sidewalk repairs are underway in our neighborhood. This is good news. For the most part, any infrastructure repair in our neighborhood is good news. Especially since we are in a part of the city where some streets have curbs and drains and some streets have neither. Am I the only one who wonders why that's not the case in Lake Vista or the Garden District? But I digress.
FEMA did the initial assessment on sidewalk damage. And we all know how logically FEMA works. So I'm sure this one thing contributing to the arbitrary nature of the repairs.
But folks this is ridiculous.
We've complained to the City, for literally years, about this empty lot with its illegally high mountain of sand, an abandoned car and container. But so far nothing has happened.
EXCEPT that the sidewalk repairs have created the equivalent of a "Road Cut" on the Joliet side of the mountain of sand. What we are guaranteed is that this new sidewalk will very shortly be covered over with sand... again and that this sand will be making its way to covering over the storm drain... again.
But wait there's more.
The repairs on Joliet have exacerbated the problem on Fig. The repairs have created a ramp to no where. You can't see the sidewalk on Fig because of its has been overwashed with sand and now new sand from the "Road Cut" made into the mountain of sand is covering up the grass.
When is something going to be done about this Vacant lot? Vacant lots are blight too. This lot is blighted and owned by infamous Toris Young's BibleWay Baptist Church.
But wait there's even more. What we were told when we asked about having the owner of the lot fined and the sidewalk restored was that sidewalk repairs are the responsibility of the property owner. Now if this is the case why isn't it the property owners responsibility to get the dollars from FEMA to repair the sidewalk? Why is the city "doing this for us" if the city has no responsibility for sidewalks? I don't know. Apparently I'm not smart enough for the bureaucracy.
Could someone at City Hall PLEASE, PLEASE, do something about the Lot on the corner of Cambronne and Fig. One day we'd like to see the rest of the sidewalk. Even it it isn't as lovely as the sections of sidewalk provided to us by FEMA.

Want to reduce your electricity bills?
Have you ever wondered what type of insulation is best for your home?
Global Green's "Build it Back Green" program is hosting a
Home Insulation Panel Discussion
to help homeowners and other interested parties learn more.
Choosing the correct type of insulation for our hot, humid climate can be a daunting task, but we have invited several vendors to discuss their product in a format that will allow us to learn more about the qualities of their product. Whether it be cellulose, fiberglass batts, rigid foam board, or spray foam, this will be an excellent opportunity to learn more about how to reduce your electricity bills through properly insulating your home.
The Home Insulation Panel Discussion will take place
at our Green Building Resource Center
at 841 Carondelet St.
on Tuesday evening, November 17th from 6:00-8:00 pm.
This event is free and open to the public and refreshments will be provided.
We look forward to seeing you then! For those unable to make it, feel free to stop by our Resource Center on Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday from 10 am to 3 pm and Saturdays by appointment.
For more information please contact Heidi Jensen by phone at 504-252-2121 or email hjensen@globalgreen.org.

Arts & Gardens Event
New Orleans Botanical Garden and KK Projects Life is Art Foundation
team up to unveil Sculptures from International Artists,
A part of arts+gardens+new orleans
Special Preview Event November 12, 2009
6:00 p.m.-9:00 p.m.
The New Orleans Botanical Garden has partnered with the KK Projects Life is Art Foundation to present a series of large-scale art works for public viewing inside the Garden. The sculptures first gained attention while they were on view during last weekend's VOODOO Experience in City Park, and have now been brought into the Botanical Garden where they will stay through January.
Some of the larger-than-life pieces include the Cone by German artists Hans Sachs and Manuel Kretzer, a light based sculpture that rotates with human force. Watch your Eyes, by Elliott Coon, and Light Harps, by Jen Lewin will also be on display. Additionally there is a piece commissioned by City Park from Eric Ehlenberger called Venusian Swamp Lily that will hover above the Botanical Garden's renowned Lily Pond. All of the sculptures are lighted, and some are kinetic, and interactive. All of the sculpture will be on display and open to the public for Celebration in the Oaks which runs from Friday November 27th to Wednesday December 30th.
The sculptures will be on exhibit for a special preview event at the New Orleans Botanical Garden on Thursday, November 12, from 6:00 p.m.-9:00 p.m. The Garden encourages members of the artistic, gardening, and cultural community to view the sculptures and take part in the ongoing vitalization of New Orleans as an arts and gardens destination.
