News... I'm embarrassed to say that I have not updated the message on our home page. I'm going to use the excuse of "end of hurricane season" and proceed from there. The ACOE is actively working on a gate at Rail St and Lakeshore Drive. I'm unsure how long this will take but, I hope, it will be done before NEXT hurricane season commences. The repairs to the gate at Marconi and Lakeshore Drive are somewhat complete. Apparently, one of the subs did not complete the entire job, and work is now progressing to remedy that situation. As a result of both projects, the lights along Marconi Drive from Thrasher to Lakeshore Drive were out; now only the lights from Stilt St to Lakeshore Drive are out. This is, in a twisted way, progress. It took many emails from many people and the intervention of Councilmember Susan Guidry to finally get the major problem resolved. On a positive note, the OLD/NAMA (the mandated legislative authority charged with protecting our lakefront) has been active and working in regard to our green spaces, the airport, the marina and other issues. Their task is gargantuan. All four Lakefront subdivisions are well-represented and, I think, our best interests will be addressed.
An attempt to restart a tradition of "Saturdays in the Park" has been coordinated by one of our at-large Board members (Kelly Alfortish). The first and second were successful and we intend to continue. I'll send out reminders via the members email list. The directory effort has been stalled due to lack of some street’s participation via block captains. This is not by intent so much as it is the reliance upon volunteers to get the job done. Sometimes life intervenes and prevents our volunteers from tending to peripheral tasks. I would ask that anybody interested in being a block captain please contact me. Even if your street has one, we can always use a back-up. Many of our residents often travel for business purposes and a back-up would be very useful. Progress on the taxing district issue is also slow but moving forward. More to come in the next edition of the newsletter (January). Blight has been eradicated to the level that we (LVPOA) can accomplish. The rest is up to the City of New Orleans. Please thank John Schneller for his tireless, hard and thankless job next time you see him. Finally, I do hope each and every one of you has a pleasant and stress-free holiday season. The 'hood looks pretty good for the holiday season thanks to the Garden Club.

Lake Vista Zoning Permitted land use in Lake Vista, 30% maximum lot coverage, required setbacks, fencing, and other restrictions that are part of the Lake Vista Building Restrictions, were incorporated into the City's Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance under the Lake Vista chapters of the Lake Area Zoning Ordinance on October 18, 2007. Of particular significance to residents are Chapters 9A.2, 9A.4 and 9A.6 but park and commercial uses are included in later Chapters. To be accurate, the pdf of the ordinance at the following link ("Read More") is used in combination with the City Planning Commission map of Lake Vista. Both can be found on the home page of the City Planning Commission website. (click here) 3rd District Police "Hot Sheet" In an effort to improve the quality of life
