In September, Xavier volunteers\u00a0will work to improve connections from Uptown to the Central Business District (CBD), the Lafitte Greenway to the French Quarter, and the Algiers Ferry terminal to the French Quarter or\u00a0CBD.<\/p>\n

Volunteers are crucial to making Connect the Crescent a success and there are many ways to get involved!<\/p>\n
