Aside from the State Office Building lot, I think this is the most pitiable spot in downtown. This is begging for something decent across from The Rose.
Highline phase 2 and they are finishing a new build on 24th and Howard right now.

Re: Omaha Streetcar Discussion

I didn't get a picture as I was driving by, but there were some old railroad ties and rusty rails piled up on the NE corner of Saddle Creek and Leavenworth by the QT which I assume is from the old streetcar tracks they paved over decades ago.

Everyone looking for a good rain should be enjoying this one. No thunder, but had been consistent rain for a while now with a few more sustained hours to go. Wondering if it's going to run past that half inch mark b/c it's been decently heavy downtown at times.

Woodbury is a very legit group. Them being involved gives me more optimism.

Also I know the increased TIF will rub a lot the wrong way, but I believe the % of the total project being funded through TIF is lower in this proposal. From ~14.3% to 11.4%.
