Re: Omaha Streetcar Discussion

Mayor Stothert also mentioned on Grow Omaha that the Med Center was working with HDR to look at what the streetcar through the campus will look like, and that it will likely go to Saddle Creek.

NuStyle Owned lot NWC 20th/Farnam

On Grow Omaha, mayor Stothert mentioned NuStyle said that they’ve been holding onto the surface parking lot west of Wells Fargo on Farnam (she said 19th but I think she meant 20th) and that they were originally looking at building a 4 story apartment building but were now looking at a 8 to 10 story ...

Re: Omaha Streetcar Discussion

I'd be okay if they wanted to extend it to the airport by way of 16th street and Carter Lake. Streetcars aren't much of a transportation solution. They're good in the intimate streetscape level, but if you need to cover distance quickly, a streetcar ain't it. That's why I hope they aren't really co...

So 700+ apartments with an early estimate of 500 parking spaces, and a fair amount of "affordable" housing. Not a bad ratio for Omaha.
