You're not the only one who would love to see the lakes area near LSU connected to Perkins Park. A greenway along Bayou DuPlantier would be a great way to do this. It has been proposed before, but was opposed by neighborhood association representatives who played on fears that it would increase crime. McBrayer said these fears often come up, but they're contradicted by all the evidence: having more people around actually discourages crime, and it's hard to carry a stolen TV on a bike.

Would someone post some information about what was discussed? Is the presentation available on-line? I'm really interested in this and think it's a great project. I'm particularly interested in connecting City Park/LSU/the lakes to Perkins Road Park. Hopefully by the time the extreme park is built. Thanks.
