The Friends of Lafitte Corridor (FOLC) is a citizen-based advocacy group dedicated to preserving the open space of the
Lafitte Corridor for use as a greenway. Since June, 2006, FOLC has been reaching out to neighborhood organizations,
non-profit organizations, and Corridor-area stakeholders to gather input and to develop a vision for the creation
of a public greenway on the Lafitte Corridor. This effort has received invaluable support and guidance from nonprofit
organizations, university programs and public agencies including:

• Bikes Belong, Boulder CO
• Rails to Trails Conservancy, Washington DC
• Urban Conservancy of New Orleans
• Steps to a Healthier LA/ Louisiana Public Health Institute, New Orleans

• City of New Orleans City Planning Commission
• Department of Architecture, Urban Planning & Design; University of Missouri-Kansas City

• National Park Service; Rivers, Trails Conservation Assistance Program, Washington DC

The development and publication of this plan was developed by Friends of Lafitte Corridor (FOLC) and Brown+Danos
landdesign, inc., of Baton Rouge in part through pro bono services provided by Brown+Danos landdesign, inc., under
a cooperative assistance General Agreement between National Park Service and the American Society of Landscape
Architects. Funding for development of this plan was made possible by a grant from Bikes Belong. The following
