Tunisburg Neighborhood Plan
In 2008, Concordia, LLC was engaged by the Tunisburg Square Homeowners Civic Association to assist them in preparing a concept plan for the Tunisburg neighborhood. The Tunisburg Neighborhood Concept Plan was developed during a three-month planning process that included the community’s vision of enhancements and improvements. In addition, this vision also incorporates recommendations developed in the Unified New Orleans Plan (UNOP) process, and various sector plans conducted by multiple organizations.
The Tunisburg (McClendonville) Neighborhood is unique because of its neighborhood character, connection with the General Meyer Avenue corridor, strong community, and its land use activity. The General Meyer Avenue commercial corridor, which in many ways is the lifeline of the neighborhood, forms a viable community because of its land use activity such as O. Perry Walker Senior High School, Delgado Community College, Behrman Memorial Park, Federal City redevelopment, etc. Neighborhood enhancements and improvements to the Tunisburg neighborhood would assist in strengthening the neighborhood’s economic, environmental, organizational, physical, social viability.
The final report provides an overview of the planning process, as well as recommendations for land use and urban design. The community’s vision is a very important element for the revitalization and continuing development of the Tunisburg (McClendonville) Neighborhood. This vision, together with tools for implementation, will form a framework for the revitalization of the community.
