Omaha Forums

I asked MAT and got this reply: The bike rack procurement process has begun.  Not sure at this point when they'll be operational.  At a minimum they'll be installed and operational by late summer, early fall. Oh, man, to think that they'd waste the whole spring and summer after sitting on that gra...

South of Millard Ave? You mean South of Q?

Anyone know what plans are for the RR right of way along Harry Anderson from Q to Harrison? I see the grounds crew from the country club across the street pulling carts of yard waste over there to dump on the creek bank. Seems like it would make a good addition to the trail system if cleaned up.

What gear could you just not do without? How has commuting by bike changed your life? Does your employer support a ...

That article in Getting Around is the result of my email to that reporter. The OWH had a brief article about being awarded the grant the previous September or October, then nothing. And I have spent all this time trying to get some information. I've repeatedly asked MAT and once asked the mayor's ho...

Anyone know the due date of the MAT bike racks? The bike commuting community sure would welcome some progress reports in news releases!
