BROAD TO BAYOU MASTER PLAN

BROAD TO BAYOU

DBA was hired to complete an update to the Lafitte Greenway Master Plan from Broad Street to Bayou St. John. The master plan aims to prioritize the needs of the community, enhance user experience and safety, and address environmental concerns such as urban heat-island effect and localized flooding, while also increasing urban wildlife habitat.

DBA lead the public engagement efforts for the project planning to reach over 400 individuals through online surveys, event pop ups, open house workshops, and virtual meetings.

DBA collected data and feedback from the public engagement, analyzed the results, and developed a master plan for various programmatic activities while incorporating space for passive recreation and stormwater management. Improvements to the project site include boardwalks, improved plaza space, event facilities, a stormwater park, a splash pad, skateable paths, and site elements including additional bridges over the canal, and transit plazas at the intersection of Broad Street.
