We will have a walking discussion about the evolution of the corridor from German immigration to the Civil Rights movement to Hurricane Katrina and beyond. The event will highlight recent revitalization successes and how they respect the rich history, which has molded this cultural corridor.

Take an after-work stroll through a typical neighborhood in Mid-City, between Carrollton Ave. and Jefferson Davis Pkwy. Learn how the area has changed over time, from a cypress swamp to working class homes to an historic neighborhood at the heart of our city.

The bike tour starts at City Park. On safe biking routes, cyclists start by riding along scenic Bayou St. John to the Levee Exhibit Hall and Garden at the east breach of the London Avenue Canal. The next site is a pump station and then a ride along scenic Lake Pontchartrain to the 17th Street Canal breach in the Lakeview neighborhood. Cyclists can view the breach sites and also the neighborhoods affected by the failure of levees designed and built by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Finally, everyone will bike back through City Park. The bike tour is 12 miles. You must bring your own bike. The Levee Breach Bike Tour is a healthy way to learn more about the worst civil engineering disaster in the history of the United States.
