Re: Omaha Eppley Airfield
I doubt the canopy was designed without taking into account the flow of water. Residential houses only need 1/4 of an inch of pitch for water to flow into a downspout (assuming your roofline is straight). Based upon the above photo water would be flowing toward the parking garage which should have a...

On Grow Omaha the Mayor mentioned the streetcar colors would be like the parking kiosk colors. So I guess, blue, purple, green, orange, etc.
Also interesting to note, and while unpopular on this forum, Jean said eventually the streetcar would go to the airport.

I say sell the whole thing and turn it into Good Life District #3. Would be a great opportunity for the city to really connect to the riverfront beyond parks with commerce and perhaps more condos.
