As residents of Councilmatic District “E” Lake Barrington subdivision, we are concerned about the condition of the Morrison Canal, particularly in the area adjoining our subdivision-Morrison Road extending from Wright Road to Bullard Avenue.
There is a foul order periodically emanating from the canal with visible debris and algae throughout the water channel. In light of West Nile virus infected mosquitoes having been found in eastern New Orleans this summer, coupled with stagnant high water levels and debris, we believe that the canal's current condition creates health and safety issues for the community, particularly to the residents in the area. Additionally, with debris potentially impeding water flow, the areas along the canal are more susceptible to experience street flooding should any substantial rainfall occur.
Therefore, we the residents of the Lake Barrington community are requesting that the Morrison Canal channel be pumped, cleaned and dredged as soon as possible.

The canal remains a mess. I am currently reaching out to local officials to demand an immediate inspection.

The momentum behind this canal cleanup is undeniable. It is clear that our community demands a safer and cleaner Morrison Canal.

Litter and trash would not be trapped in the canal if the mowers would remove the grass shavings rather than allow them to fall into the canal. A good dredging is needed in all the canals in the east because there are lily pads in them, especially in the Berg Canal behind my house. It is my hope that some positive active will take place.
I have call 311 on several occasions . And don't forget about the street lights . They came out and fixed the one on the corner of Morrison & Camberley; others mid way Camberley is still in need of repair. I called 311 back and they said it is on the book.

The canal is unsightly and a health hazard. The mowers need training and supervision. Hopefully, cleaning of the canal will be a priority.
