From sidewalks to road work, we've seen our fair share of traffic cones. Just when most residents finally moved out of the FEMA trailers, this is what we lived through beginning in 2011.

Unfortunately, FEMA used a one-size-fits-all approach and removed two to three feet of natural clay ridges along the Mississippi River neighborhoods and replaced it with sand and gravel. We'll see how long before that subsides.
Storm water runoff and pollution plans need improvements including dust control and heavy equipment issues. Unfortunately, in 2013 the trees took a hit as well from heavy equipment and disrespectful out of state workers.
Any governmental project should be the showcase example of performance standards yet to be seen here. Even today in 2014, local projects with Federal CBDG funding fail to protect trees, pollution runoff, and dust control.
Come on, St Bernard, we can do better than that.
