Louisiana's Strategic Adaptations for Future Environments, or LA SAFE, was a statewide planning effort led by the Louisiana Office of Community Development and the Foundation for Louisiana that integrated flood risk planning with stormwater management, housing, transportation, economic development, education, recreation, and culture, and became Louisiana's first large-scale regional effort focused on long-term climate resilience and adaptation for coastal Louisiana. Through seventy-one public meetings held across five rounds of events in six target parishes—Jefferson, Lafourche, Plaquemines, St. John the Baptist, St. Tammany, and Terrebonne—it pursued community resilience, prosperity, and better quality of life by developing parish-wide, community-driven adaptation strategies for anticipated environmental change over the next 10, 25, and 50 years, implementing a catalytic project in each parish, supporting resilience-building projects as regional models, and creating a statewide adaptation model for all Louisiana parishes. The effort arose from the projection that Louisiana would lose more coastal land and wetlands than it could rebuild even if restoration efforts were completed as planned, increasing storm surge and flood risk as wetland buffers diminished. One of the ten projects funded at the end of the planning process was the Airline and Main Complete Streets project in LaPlace, a resilient infrastructure and community nonstructural mitigation and flood risk reduction project that added green infrastructure and transportation improvements along Airline Highway and Main Street as a model for planning in a low-risk area facing heightened future flood risk. In LaPlace, an area originally home to the Acolapissa, Chitimacha, and Choctaw tribes and later settled by Germans in the early eighteenth century, fertile Mississippi River soil supported sugarcane cultivation through the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, while land sales and residential development in the 1920s, construction of Airline Highway and commercial growth in the 1930s, and the emergence of refineries in the latter half of the twentieth century increased population and brought schools, stores, and housing to dominate the landscape. As development expanded, stormwater outgrew municipal culverts and pipes, causing nuisance flooding, and the area remained focused on automobiles with little infrastructure for biking or walking. Improvements through LA SAFE made Main Street a complete street with facilities for cyclists and vehicular traffic, a safer environment for pedestrians, and features such as permeable pavement, parallel parking, and rain gardens that reduce stormwater runoff.
