Community Forum on Climate & Equity for District A


Hollygrove Neighbors Association invites you to
the Community Forum on Climate & Equity for District A
on October 11, 2018, 10 AM to 12 PM,
at the Carrollton Hollygrove Senior Center,
3300 Hamilton Street.

At this meeting we'll have an honest discussion on how climate change impacts our daily lives in New Orleans and the city's climate action plan. The truth is, we're going to have to make a few changes to ensure the brightest future for our children and grandchildren. It's going to be up to us to make sure those changes are fair and beneficial to our neighborhoods.
The forum will also highlight the work of local groups making great strides to strengthen our neighborhoods and our city. Leaders working to develop small businesses, create more transportation options, reduce waste, and balance our energy systems will join us as we develop our vision for a resilient New Orleans.

Parking & Infrastructure Damage 8200 Block of Apricot

This problem exists
20180820_182434


BECAUSE this truck (photo taken in 2013) has been parking on the greenspace
AND the storm drain since the drainage repairs were completed.
8200 Block of Apricot @ Dante

While we wait for repairs a new truck now parks in the 2700 block Dante at the corner of Apricot.
Eventually this bit of infrastructure will end up needing repairs as well.

NOTHING will CHANGE without PARKING ENFORCEMENT.
