Re: 13th and William Revitalization

My guess is that the truck traffic there is historical to the Old Market/Jobbers area. If you go east on Pierce, there's Omaha Transloading. The Post Office, of course. South 24th has already been narrowed to two lanes and a turning lane. I can't imagine Omaha would want to redirect trucks to Hwy 75...

Re: 13th and William Revitalization

I agree that South 13th needs pedestrian improvements. We must consider that the street is an Omaha truck route. Until the that traffic is moved to 24th Street and Hwy 75, nothing will change on South 13th.

Re: Downtown Soccer Stadium (Abbott Drive)

Ok, I'll say it. The argument for the streetcar to the airport gains momentum. Again, still not going to happen. Have you looked at construction costs per mile of the streetcar. The city isn't going to back that unless there is major development along the route. As mentioned several times, a street...

Re: Mutual of Omaha Tower (14th & Farnam)

You can see in the PDF posted above the columns line up in the parking floors and the office floors. The parking appears to be a complete podium at the bottom with office plates above - not really a tower surrounded on three sides by a garage.

Re: ADU at 4076 Spencer Street

I agree there should be a permitting process, like any structures, but it's ridiculous to involve the city council. Omaha is decades behind in common sense planning reform.

I tried to go back and read about this new development but couldn't find anything on why they are digging such a deep hole. Anyone know? Is it underground parking?

Hmm, I see the sale in Oct 2020. NE Secretary of State site leads to Swan owning it and uses it as their office in filings, so maybe they will have a local headquarters or rent out office space. They currently have offices at 1905 Harney. Generic offices?
