Dream on, New Orleans
The Bring Back New Orleans Commission, established by Mayor Ray Nagin, has a boatload of transit wishes:
The commission report, several members said, will also advocate building a 53-mile light-rail system crisscrossing the city, connecting neighborhoods with the airport, downtown and other commercial centers. That system would be in addition to a separate heavy-rail system that would link New Orleans with Baton Rouge and the rest of the Gulf Coast.
The light-rail system, estimated to cost $3 billion, is intended to help spark redevelopment in areas of the city that were flooded.
New Orleans will get this stuff as soon as every six-year-old girl who wants a pony gets one.

I don't think every one of these items should be at the top of the list for construction.
Also the lowest/worst hit parts of New Orleans should be razed, filled in, and then built upon again.
