WE SAW CANAL[Brown Avenue Linear Park Groundbreaking.]
STRAIGHT DOWN THIS PROPERTY, BIG DITCH.WE SAW PEOPLE WHOM, UH, USED TO HANG OUT AT THE EXPRESSWAY, DRINKING, UH, DOING THINGS THAT THEY DID.
WE'VE SEEN PEOPLE NEARLY LOST THEIR LIVES, ALSO LIVES AND LOST THEIR LIVES.
I HAVE A FRIEND WHO LOST HIS LIFE, AND SO A CHANGE HAD TO COME.
AND SO HERE WE ARE DEDICATING THIS PROPERTY WHERE WE'RE FOR 1800 LINEAR FEET.
WE ARE GOING TO HAVE A BEAUTIFUL PARK THAT'S GOING TO HAVE CONCRETE WALKING TRAILS, PARK BENCHES ALONG THE TRAILS, GATHERING PLACES.
SO FOR ALL THOSE WHO WANT TO COME HERE AND JUST SIT DOWN AND TALK IN THIS BEAUTIFUL WEATHER, YOU'LL BE ABLE TO DO THAT.
WE ARE GOING TO HAVE GREENERY.
WE'RE GOING TO HAVE LANDSCAPING.
WE'RE GOING TO HAVE ALL OF THE TYPE OF AMENITIES THAT WE BELIEVE THAT THIS COMMUNITY DESERVES.
THIS PROJECT IS ABOUT A 3 MILLION PROJECT TO CLOSE THIS CANAL IN FROM EXPRESSWAY ALL THE WAY BACK HERE TO THIS ELBOW.
THIS IS A HISTORIC COMMUNITY TO ME.
OLD HARVEY IS A HISTORIC COMMUNITY AND, AND IT'S HISTORIC TO JEFFERSON PARISH, TO THE WEST BANK.
UM, A LOT OF PROMINENT ACTIVITY AND PEOPLE HAVE COME FROM THIS COMMUNITY.
SO IT'S ONLY FITTING AT THE GATEWAYS OF THIS COMMUNITY LOOK, YOU KNOW, FABULOUS.
IT LOOKS PROPER WITH HIS WORK.
