Well, it isn’t good news, I’m afraid. Below is the reply to my query. After more than two years, this is discouraging indeed.

“The ADA scope of work performed under CPA’s administration is complete.  NOPL recently noticed water infiltration in the building that will require some roof repair work.  They are working with Purchasing to engage a contractor to perform the work.  CPA defers to those agencies regarding a schedule for the completion of this work and the reopening of the library.”

This is a little loose, to allow plenty of time to ask Joe G and Claire questions after their Land Use 101 presentation. Remember, we asked them to put something like this together (as I imagine others did, too).

Got this from Henry Walther, who is the District A Neighborhood Liasion. Henry.Walther@nola.gov  |  504.329.2870 (mobile)

“Just another reminder of next Thursday’s community meeting in Uptown. Join the Mayor’s Neighborhood Engagement Office at PJs Coffee (6501 Maple St.) to hear about City programs, initiatives, and operations directly from City officials and representatives. In an effort to accommodate residents who are less inclined to attend public meetings in the evenings outside of their communities, we’ve created Coffee on Your Corner to bring City government to you. All COVID-19 protocols for indoor dining will be followed. In this iteration, we will be discussing Green Infrastructure and Transit with leaders from the Department of Transportation and the Department of Resilience & Sustainability.”

To attend, please register at nola.gov/neoevents

Where: PJs Coffee, 6501 Maple St.

When: Thursday, February 3rd, 10AM – 11AM

This is a great group doing wonderful things (such as the Rosa Keller library native landscaping).

Check out their website and FB page for info about native garden plans, seed collecting, birding, and projects underway, like the UNO Woodlot planting going on today. You can also get info about the Louisiana Certified Habitat program.
