Re: SEC 72nd & Farnam redevelopment
How would we add LRT into Omaha? Is there way to add it into the existing space, or would we basically have to bulldoze a swath across the city? There are people here better able to answer than me, but from what I can see we have a few ways to do it without bulldozing buildings. Depends on budget, ...

To 99 percent of the city, that’s the major point. No one wants to see taxes raised higher. The vast majority of this city will not be riding the streetcar, and she had to address that. 99% of the city won't drive on 168th and Fort. So we shouldn't build infrastructure out there?
