POTENTIAL PROJECT E

GALVEZ STREET AT MONTEGUT STREET
SITE OWNER - NEW ORLEANS DEPARTMENT
OF PUBLIC WORKS

Project E proposes using underground storage tanks and a rain garden in the area under the overpass at Galvez and Montegut Streets . An example of a rain garden installation can be seen at the Bunny Friend Rain Garden at 1823 Gallier Street. The underground storage tanks would be installed between the columns of the Galvez bridge at a depth of 5 feet and tie into the SWBNO drainage system.

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.
