What’s Wrong with This Picture?  A Public Forum on Yard Paving
wrongExcessive paving in the required front and corner lot side yard areas, as well as public green spaces between sidewalk and street, is a growing concern in New Orleans. It can negatively impact property values, public safety and area drainage systems. The Urban Conservancy invites you to learn more about why excessive paving is occurring, what you can do about it, and mitigation techniques available to property owners. 
Please join us Thursday, March 13, from 5:30 – 7 pm at the Propeller Incubator, 4035 Washington Ave. for a discussion of this topic.
