NEW ORLEANS, LA (WVUE) - After years of talk, planning and delays, construction begins next week on the Lafitte Greenway, a future 2.6-mile linear park that will stretch from the City Park area to the edge of the French Quarter.
"The greenway is going to connect a lot of different neighborhoods. It's going to run through Treme and Mid-City and Lafitte and Iberville," said Sophie Harris with the group Friends of Lafitte Corridor.
Wednesday night, area residents, business owners and community groups met with city leaders and developers to discuss the final plans.
