The Pontilly Neighborhood Stormwater Network is a Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP)-leveraged project in the National Disaster Resilience (NDR)-funded portfolio of projects in the Gentilly Resilience District. The HMGP-funded Phase I is currently under construction and includes bioswales, rain gardens, pervious surfacing and more. Upon completion, it will store up to 8.9 million gallons of storm water and reduce flooding as much as 14 inches during a 10-year rain event. Check out the project page for more information.
Semi-permeable, green alleyways are being construction by Fleming Construction across 12 blocks of the historic Pontchartrain Park neighborhood. The alleyways stretch from Press Drive, in between each block, past Congress Street.

The St. Bernard Neighborhood Campus project is being designed with multiple benefits including increasing the number of native plantings for shade and habitat, which will decrease urban heat effects and reduce flooding by storing stormwater on site before slowly releasing it into the drainage system. And while addressing the environmental challenges of the community is paramount, the project also aims to demonstrate that resilient neighborhood-scale stormwater management can provide benefits far beyond the initial investment by revitalizing community access to varied recreational amenities.
