The Downtown Development District implemented the sidewalk improvement program to assist property owners in improving the quality of sidewalks in front of their properties. Materials
All new or repaved sidewalks immediately adjacent to property located within the DDD are to be brick in the tan-medium brown color range or with Pennsylvania bluestone in the blue-grey color range.
Funding Available
The DDD will match up to 50% of the cost of sidewalks conditional on the number of applications and budget allocation for each year.
Process & Requirements
The DDD requires that all permits from safety and permits and notification of proper utilities (Sewerage and Water Board, Entergy, AT&T, and Cox Communications) be received prior to any improvement work. The DDD also must approve the materials to be used prior to installation.
For more specifics on the DDD's Sidewalk Enhancement Program, contact John Roussell in the Public Space Operations Department at (504) 561-8927 or via email at jroussell [at] neworleansdowntown.com.
