Action on Bartholmew Street in the Upper 9th Ward neighborhood of New Orleans to address blight.
We are demanding a long-term solution to prevent blight in our city on overgrown lots and to prevent flooding through the use of raingardens or bioswales.
ACV is working with LSU to create bioswales to prevent flooding and reduce blight. These bioswales provide a way for the lots to be maintained and kept safe, as we wait for more families to return and build in the community. At the same time, they provide the benefit of reducing street flooding that comes with climate change and failing pumps.
