Riverfront Vision 2005

The Riverfront Vision 2005 Plan articulates the community’s vision for a 25 mile long corridor, stretching along the river’s edge from parish line to parish line on both sides of the river, and encompassing the adjacent industrial areas and neighborhoods. The Plan highlights issues and opportunities for particular riverfront segments and the adjacent neighborhoods in terms of land use and zoning, transportation and access needs. It examines security and environmental concerns, and discusses the issues of governance and funding.

The Plan further examines the adequacy of the current zoning and development standards to determine if these tools will support the stated goals of the Plan and the community vision for the riverfront.

The purpose of the Riverfront Vision 2005 Plan is to provide the following:

• Articulate a shared vision for future development of the riverfront through a community-oriented planning process;
• Recommend strategies that will guide riverfront development projects toward realization of that vision; and
• Ensure coordination and partnership among key stakeholders.
