CONCEPTUAL PROJECT G

FP JACKSON PARK

PROPERTY OWNER - CITY OF NEW ORLEANS, NORD

ESTIMATED CONSTRUCTION COST - $1.3 M

ESTIMATED STORAGE VOLUME - 12,915 CF

Jackson Park, located between Louisa and Piety St, is under CNO jurisdiction and is located within a moderately flooded area. Multiple stormwater storage improvements to this existing park are proposed to reduce flooding in the neighborhood.

PROJECT HIGHLIGHTS

  • Two bioswales with dual surface and subsurface storage beneath that will intercept overflow of the existing drainage system or run off on Louisa St.

  • Depressed basketball court that will also provide stormwater surface storage during a rain event

  • The existing playground gets replaced with a new playground so that the playground surface will be permeable and store stormwater runoff before directing it to the subservice storage tank

A 10-year storm is approximately 8.5" over a 24 hour period.

Funding for this project is made possible through a grant by Flood Mitigation Assistance (FMA) Grant Program, managed by FEMA and administered through GOHSEP

 

Funding for the previous study was made possible with matching funds provided by National Academy of Science and Engineering Gulf of Mexico Research Program

 

The initial neighborhood study was a resident driven project led by Healthy Community Services, Water Wise Gulf South, and Bunny Friend Neighborhood Association. The data they gathered allowed them to pursue additional funding resulting in the project we are presenting today. Bringing these proposed projects to conceptual design with solid data to support them, including a Benefit Cost Analysis for each, is the next step in the implementation process.
