The potential route indicated above was the result of public input at the following meetings:

Plaquemines Parish Bike Pathway public meeting on April 10, 2001

New Orleans City Planning Commission joint public meeting with the Regional Planning Commission on May 08, 2001

New Orleans City Planning Commission public meeting regarding Recreation and Transportation portions of the City of New Orleans Master Plan on June 04, 2001

New Orleans City Planning Commission public meeting, Riverfront Vision, May 19, 2004

New Orleans City Planning Commission public meeting, Riverfront Vision - 2005, January 19 - 20, 2005

This route was also a result of input from the Friends of Woodlands Trail, Mississippi River Equestrian Alliance, Crescent City Cyclists as well as informal comments from the community and feedback received through our website.

Potential Pathway Features:

	Widening of Highway 406/River Road to ACRES for the MRT would allow improvements in drainage, as well as allowing increased safety for motorists as well as cyclists and pedestrians
	Lower Coast Levee retained as greenspace for continued use by pedestrians and equestrians.
	Crushed Limestone or other "environmentally friendly" levee crown topping from ACRES to F. Edward Hebert Blvd. for non-motorized recreational use; levee base for equestrian use.
	The position and type of pathway from Tulane to the Belle Chasse Ferry has not been determined though it is preferred that both types of trail users needs will be met as well as allowing for the continuance of the MRT.
	A potential bike/pedestrian pathway along Stanton would provide transportation enhancement for individuals traveling to and from Meadowcrest Park/PAC
	A potential pathway along English Turn Parkway would provide recreation, safety, as well as transportation enhancement features and increased public access to Wilderness Park.
