Why not just four lane it now instead of this stopgap measure that will need to be ripped up again in 10 years? Likely funding. They have been planning four lane expansion down to 370 and the page for 168th Street on ConnectSarpy.com originally was talking about that towards the end of the decade. ...

I used to use that ramp all the time on my way from 80 East to Pacific Street. For at least 10 years they have had “Temporary” barrels blocking anyone from using that small stretch of pavement. I could resort to an earthy colloquialism to indicate that the State Department of Transportation should,...

It was moved over to this thread since it's not part of the Saddle Creek redevelopment. I just moved your post over to the correct thread.

Saw this article about how Scooters is growing faster than any other brand in the Midwest and Texas. It is also the second fastest growing brand in the country. Scooter's is fastest-growing brand in Midwest, but not in Nebraska A Nebraska-based coffee chain is the fastest-growing brand in the Midwes...

Good thing is you can look at it during 100% totality, but only during that time and only in areas of 100%.

Nice! Glad you were able to see it. Yeah, it was nice that it worked out just perfect. Thanks, guys! re: flares - Me neither! It was a wonderful surprise when I sat down last night to edit.

Dallas ended up clearing off to where it was very visible.

We have an opening date for the Costco Wholesale store under construction southeast of 180th & West Maple Road: sometime this July. The new building is now mostly enclosed. It will be the metro area’s third Costco and is expected to relieve traffic at the 123rd & West Dodge Road location. W...

Every year it's downsized more and more. Go back to the beginning of this thread and have a look. I went through the master plan on the first page and it doesn't really look like this portion has been downsized at all yet. It might be ultimately since they have struggled to get Heartwood Row to tak...

Interesting how the former Charleston’s building is perfectly adequate to house a high end restaurant, when it apparently wasn’t good enough for Charleston’s to remain there. IIRC it wasn't Charleston's turning up their nose at the quality of the building, but instead the landlord creating unfavora...

KeepOmahaMoving listed March 18th as the start, but looks like it is supposed to start April 1st according to the Notice to Proceed letter that was recently posted to the website.

New imagery in the west part of the city from last month now on Google Earth if you look at historical imagery.

The City of Omaha/Douglas County Should Continue Blondo Street and Connect Skyline (Grid Pattern) I've wondered why they don't connect west of 204th with the Blondo street that's back there. This whole area they want to develop is kind of buried and doesn't seem to have great access. But it seems l...

So, the healthy choice steamers have been some of my go to frozen dinners, particularly the steak and potatoes one. I always got it the most of them all because it has the most calories, so better bang for the buck. It never did have a TON of sodium (I want to say it was 600-something mg), but I lo...

I haven’t heard of a single issue since they’ve opened or did I miss something?

Did they put the signs up years ago and just forget about them?

Almost 18 years!

Not sure why I have never posted when this is released each year since I always keep an eye out for it and will occasionally mention it throughout the year. I might have to make this thread about the yearly NDOT MTM, MAPA TIP, and Omaha CIP releases.

2024 Moving the Metro has been released.

Speaking of that, fixed the thread title to remove the errornous "s" at the end of "Saving". I know that variation is generally accepted and what I usually say, but technically it's not supposed to be plural.

I'm at .61" right now.

Resurfacing happening along Highway 50 this year along with the intersection of 144th and Harrison being widened for dual-left turns.

Resurfacing starts Monday. Widening starts in May.

djc311 wrote: ↑Thu Mar 07, 2024 7:46 am According to the proposed pic the corner is flat, assuming surface parking.

I think the white is a future phase, not parking lots.

The article mentions it won't likely be torn down until a replacement is found for the corner.

Apparently, the rumor going around the wifes gossip Facebook pages is that they are shooting for a July grand opening. It looks like they have quite a bit of work to do before then, but as was mentioned before, there is not much to these warehouse buildings. I thought it wasn't supposed to be open ...

Construction starts in two weeks. Northbound will be closed for the year. Phase 1 construction is planned to begin on Monday, March 18th, 2024. During Phase 1, 72nd Street northbound will be closed at L Street for through traffic. See detour below. Local access to businesses between L Street and F S...

Moved the discussion from the Avenue One thread about this interchange.

Construction starts Monday.

Doesn't sound like there's a great chance of the NHL happening.

Now with February coming to an end, we had some warm weather most this month. We only had one single day with a high below freezing, which is crazy. And only five days below 40. In fact, more than half the month was over 50.

<32	1
32-39	4
40s	7
50s	8
60s	8

I have plants that are starting to sprout on the side of my house. Seems way too early for that. Oh, me too. Daffodils (?) are already a good 8" tall. They started poking through a few weeks ago. Onions I left in the ground over "winter" are definitely growing their tops already. Ano...

I'm sure it's way more expensive, but why not use elevators?

Speed bumps do not belong on arterial streets and the city has repeatedly said they absolutely will not put them in on streets like that.

I don't really mind crazy hot like that. Anything but cold and I'm happy.

I guess this is the first time in recorded history we've hit 80 in February.

I've always felt that Dodge should've been 7 lanes (3 east, 3 west and a center turn lane) from downtown or midtown to 72nd. However, most folks on here disagreed with me. I remember a proposal many years ago to widen this section to 6 or possibly even 8 lanes. The idea was to expand it to the sout...
