There is new evidence of progress at the proposed Levee Exhibit and Garden at the east breach of the London Avenue Canal in the Gentilly neighborhood.

There is now a working street light at the location. This powerful street light lights up the lot at 5000 Warrington Drive all the way to the back of the floodwall.

The new light is wonderful, not just for the security of the intended levee exhibits and garden, but also for the security and safety of the neighbors.
