I absolutely love the look of the two condo towers sketch overlooking Heartland of America Park. I think having two towers in that location single loaded facing south with rear parking below or above ground would really block off 480 and really extend downtown to the river. The two towers could h...

And if development does develop along that stretch, I am sure there would be even more traffic than a four-lane road can handle. Â Plus, we'll be stopping ever second. Â With the new ballpark, I've had to stop at each of the lights when no one is around.

So people got upset because of the "take away" problem. Well, |expletive| 'em. That's the point. Take the bus or carpool if you don't like the congestion in the general purpose lanes. That's how it's supposed to work. Nice. You do realize that there are a great number of people that have...

I also agree!

mcarch

Agreed to all of the above. Â I've stayed at the Raphael (spelling), and it was great!

mcarch

lol! Â You made my boring nice afternoon happy!

If UP does that, it will later cut off access if 10th street were to possibly go north of Cuming. Â I'm saying the possibility would be diminished. Â Sorry, its late and I'm getting tired. =)

mcarch

I would have to agree with Mr. Polo. Â HDR looked downtown, out west, and long Dodge at 144th. Â But once all situations were looked at, they stayed at their current location as it was best suited for their employees and the business.

mcarch

Good news... I cant wait for more of an update!

mcarch

I had to vote ugly. Â Tear down ugly... no, not unless someone someday proposes a nice tower to take their place. Â They are big boxes... well Triangular boxes. Â In some cases I compare these buildings to a big brick wall. So to say again, I do think they are ugly, but not as ugly as the Northern N...

I remember when Oakview first opened it was a jewel. Â For a while it was full of stores - no openings. Â Now, its no longer full, the ceiling paint is cracking and falling off. Â The roof leaks and needs trashcans to collect the water. Â The food court is no longer full with several bays open. Â Se...

I guess I've never seen a train there! Â I didn't know that the "track" goes to OWH. Â It is just a shame to have those tracks there blocking potential and present development.

mcarch

I'm not saying the area doesn't need to be updated, because it does, but whether or not the area is updated traffic will still be horrible in that area. Â The whole design of the Oakview area was poorly planned. Â I remember when the mall opened, just shortly after there was an article (I cannot rem...

mcarch

But they are such ugly buildings! I would have to agree! Â I hate that every picture taken is of the mall centering on Central Park Plaza. Â So Brad its 2 to 1. On another note. Â I don't see a hotel being good inside either of those buildings. Â I consider the appeal of those towers to be commerci...

mcarch

Macy's at Oakview? Â Really? Â That area is dead and traffic in and out of the area is HORRIBLE!

mcarch

Question: Â Why can't the city rip up those old UP tracks?

mcarch

If it ends up even close to Gateway that would be fantastic. Gateway includes a 12 story condo tower and 8 story office tower. While those don't seem like part of the initial plan there is room to have some height eventually. We should not use "eventually" because it will never happen i...

There's plenty of residences off of 144th & Giles. Shadow Lake is a bit of a drive for us, and there isn't a whole lot at Southport. I've been hoping that they would put some shopping near the ballpark. I do hope that they upgrade the exit ramp off of 80 at 144th though, it has a lot of truck t...

I totally agree. Â The plan looks nice and it would a wonderful addition, but its too much commercial too close to other commercial.

mcarch

I agree the flagship should stay downtown, but lets make a statement with it if we do it. So many cities have stand out flagship libraries that help define part of the city. Also I really hope they have a plan for the lot before they would tear it down b/c the last thing the city needs is another...

mcarch

Yuck... tear it down! [/center] You're kiddin', right? Those grain "thingies" are symbolic of Omaha's rich agriculture industry. If anything, we should install some ground floor retail, mid-level office, and high-rise, retro style lofts... Actually, I couldn't agree with you more, S33. I...

mcarch

I love the new green-space. Â It looks better than what was there before.

mcarch

Yes there is one on 370 going West-bound. Â However... I do not guarantee that it is correct. Â Usually it comes off wrong at about 5mph under what you drive. Â However, it sometimes says 5mph over, or 10 over, or 10 under, all depending on the day. Maybe if you know a police officer he could test i...

mcarch

They are on facebook with the owner or at least someone with knowledge writes back when you have questions! Â So if your on there, go add them.

mcarch

Yuck... tear it down! Â Hey, great idea. Â Why don't we start letting graffiti build up on our Interstate overpasses and all bridges... I mean its a big waste of space for art not to expand there?![/center]

mcarch

Yes, it might keep it busy... but they lose customers that way. Â I walked away, and so have other customers, because who is going to wait an hour for dinner. Â I'm sure some people will, but I wouldn't, and haven't.

I hope Ryan's not being packed on a Sunday is a rarity.

mcarch

We need an Olive Garden down here in the Papillion-La Vista Bellevue area. Â I drove around town yesterday, wanting Olive Garden. Â Went to the one on 76th and Dodge... it was packed. Â Then drove all the way out west to the one at 168th and W. Center. Â Packed again. Â Finally gave up and went to R...

mcarch

Now that looks cool!

mcarch

That parking garage is horrendous... it needs to be torn down or given a huge face lift!

Nope, there is only room for one fairy...

*cough* Â That would be two fairies =D

That is about all I know of it as well. Â I was just wondering if anyone has seen any exact plans or know exactly what they plan on doing.

mcarch

Especially if its the later! Â Yum!

mcarch

So no one knows anything about 168th street?

mcarch

Anyone have any pictures/renderings on the station and a map of the line?

mcarch

Question about the building. Â Awhile back I was looking at a photo, I can't remember when the photo was. Â Anyways, in the photo the building looked different. Â Since being built has the building gone through a facade change? If so.... and the picture was correct, the facade was nicer when it was ...

Your hours and resources would be used on Saturdays, if people know that you have an open classroom and what that classroom is about. Â People would then wander in; however, if no one knows that your open or at least doesn't look like your open, then yes, the resources would then best be used elsewh...

Thank you nativeomahan.

Question: Â What is going on along 168 Street between Cornhusker and 360? Â What are the plans?

Absolutely. It's a grocery store.

Until your house value went down or you couldn't sell because of the ugly Walmart Next to you.
