East Baton Rouge Parish has received a $1.14 million federal grant that will go toward the Downtown Greenway, Mayor Kip Holden announced today. The grant is meant to assist communities in improving the efficiency of their transportation systems by reducing the environmental impacts of transportation and the need for costly future public infrastructure investments. The grant will help connect North Boulevard Town Square with the planned greenway along Interstate-110 via the North Boulevard Promenade. The award, along with other successful grant applications, brings the total dollars available for greenway construction to $3 million. Design work will begin within the next few months after a nationwide call for proposals, according to the Downtown Development District.
