Friends of Bayou St. John wants to show you what’s possible for the future of the bayou. A future that takes into consideration the rich history and cultural significance of such a historic waterway, while also providing the essentials for a modern, urban, public space.

Please note that there are no concrete plans by FOBSJ (or any other entity) to implement the strategies illustrated in the study. Rather, the visioning study is intended to be a catalyst for conversation that can evolve and adapt based on engagement with all relevant parties, including Mid-City residents, neighborhood groups, community organizations, non-profits, and governmental agencies.

The scope of the study, which was completed a year ago, was very limited. FOBSJ’s intention was to illustrate some high-level visioning with input from a small group of stakeholders (who are cited in the report) that could be used by organizations throughout the area to assist in grant funding, spur larger community engagement and collaboration across all Bayou St. John neighborhoods and organizations, and inspire potential future projects.

If you have any questions, comments, or ideas pertaining to the vision study please email info@bayoustjohn.org
