Re: 120th and Q
I lived in Omaha from 1984 to 1992. Back then, Q Street was only a 2-lane bridge over I-80. It had no exit from westbound I-80 until 1989-90. I suppose that could be another reason why 120th and Q is the way it is.

120th and Q
It's kind of an odd intersection. Eastbound Q has 2 left turn lanes and only 1 thru lane. How it is: https://cdn-thumbs.imagevenue.com/43/53/67/ME185KSG_t.png But what if it was like this? https://cdn-thumbs.imagevenue.com/e7/6f/39/ME185KSH_t.png If they have to have 2 left turn lanes there, why not...

Re: US 77/West Beltway Proposal
Cutting off Old Cheney would be like cutting off Q Street when I-80 was first built. Most people thought I and L Streets would be the busy streets. They were right about L, but not I. Q ended up having more traffic.

Re: US 77/West Beltway Proposal
Cutting off Old Cheney will add traffic to Warlick and Pioneers. And that would be particularly bad for Pioneers because it's only 2 lanes.

Re: US 77/West Beltway Proposal
Old Cheney’s kind of an important road in that area. Lots of drivers use it daily. I don’t think they’ll want to have to drive all the way up to Pioneers Blvd or down to Warlick. So yes, an overpass is necessary. And I’m not the only one who thinks that.

Re: US 77/West Beltway Proposal
They're finally going to complete converting US 77 into a full freeway next year. Personally, I think they should've done it years ago when they first built it. This is not the final plan. It's just a preliminary one. https://dot.nebraska.gov/media/1lrbkhmf/aerial-mosaic_4-9-24_lincoln-west-beltway...

Before I-680 was widened, there used to be plain traditional street lights at the West Center exit. But now there are high mast lights there like most other exits. What if I-80 had high mast lights along its exits between the I-680 and I-480 interchanges ? That includes 84th, 72nd, 60th and 42nd St...

Re: I-80 As It Enters Omaha
My best guess is because of the L Street interchange being a cloverleaf one and most cloverleaf interchanges have collector/distributor roads. Not to mention there's the I-680 interchange just right next to it. I can see why they extended the C/D roads up to it. To increase capacity. Speaking of &qu...

You know how just after entering Douglas County and Omaha, I-80 veers north up towards L Street? Well, just as it descends toward Q, it takes a slight turn about 10 or 20 degrees right.

Re: Old Style Company Logos
Take notice that the K in the K Mart logo is the same from the 90's. It just doesn't have "mart" written in cursive inside it. And ShopKo's 1975 logo uses the colors the 1991 logo used.
I admit I wish they had changed their logos to this in the early 90's.

Re: Oak View Mall (144 & West Center Rd)
Somebody just uploaded new pictures of Oak View Mall on Google Maps and I took a look at them. The former Younker's wing is pretty much deserted. But the Dillard's wing is still hanging in there.
Other than that, things aren't looking so good for Oak View.
