POTENTIAL PROJECT B

BUNNY FRIEND PARK
OWNER - CITY OF NEW ORLEANS

Project B proposes using Bunny Friend Park as an interactive green space for community members. An underground storage tank could be constructed under the current grassy area of the park, and the basketball court could either be lowered to hold water during flooding events or have a storage tank installed under it. These tanks would drain into the SWBNO drainage system. The underground storage tank in the field would be covered with dirt and grass to allow the space to be used how it is currently.

The image with the green hexagons is from the drainage model and shows the improvements gained from implementing the potential project.  As you can see, the benefits are not restricted to the area around the project, but cascade through the drainage system as a whole.

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.
