All South completed the first project in the City of Kenner’s Kenner 2030 program when it extended the Erlanger Road walking path.
Civic and community leaders were on hand Thursday, November 17, 2016 to celebrate the project’s completion with a ribbon-cutting ceremony.
The walking path is being met with rave reviews from locals in Kenner. “This is very well used by all of the residents around here,” Kenner City Councilman Keith Reynaud told The Times-Picayune. “They are always calling me and saying how nice it is… I’d like to say that this project came in on time, on task, and well below budget… and we hope to see many more of these in the future.”
Acting Mayor Mike Sigur said that the extension, “has already proven to be very popular… It has beautified that area and is also something that people of all ages—and their pets—are enjoying.”
