Partnering with the Neighborhood, Levees.org will Build Exhibition and Garden at Breach Site

Today, in partnership with the neighborhood residents of Gentilly in New Orleans, Levees.org unveiled two possible scenarios for a Levee Exhibition and Garden.

The exhibit and garden will be built at the site of one of the most catastrophic breaches on August 29, 2005, the east breach of the London Avenue Canal in the Filmore Gardens neighborhood.

During Katrina, when moderate storm surge was still four feet from the tops of the canal walls, the levees failed and exposed negligent civil engineering on the part of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
