Re: The Crossroads (72 & Dodge)
Apparently the developers are crawling back to the city Omaha and asking for more TIF. Looks like they got rid of the old developers or at least minimized their involvement. Either way Omaha residents are quite frustrated that nothing has been done yet and even more frustrating is that it doesn’t ap...

Re: Omaha Police and Omaha Fire Dept HQ
Well I think the big snag right now is the 911 dispatch issue. If Douglas county and Omaha can’t come to agreement Omaha might need a 911 dispatch center inside there new headquarters then again I would hope they would have put that into the plans already and just move the entire 911 system to the n...

Re: Omaha Police and Omaha Fire Dept HQ
I think if it were put to a vote it would win public support.

The city is saving money by combining fire and police into one building. As for the price tag...

The route proposed by the state Senator from Omaha wouldn’t have the streetcar going through the usual way you’d get to the airport it’s would be going through north omaha which would help build density.

Why are they just doing 677 feet and not making it even at 700 feet? Just seems really lame that it will be the same visual height as the First National tower just slightly taller which no one will notice.

There’s also discussion in Council Bluffs Iowa about working with Omaha to brings the street car over the river. I think Omaha has a real opportunity to bring in the other neighboring cities and connect them to the Street car network including the City of Lincoln.
