they would have to redo 370 like West Dodge though Bellevue and Papillion to make a belt way work, but it could work. Wasnt building the new US 34 bridge south of Bellevue part of the plan for the "Southern Beltway" at one point? Yes, here's a map of the route they are considering: http:/...

Does that mean the Saddle Creek realignment is actually happening? The old portion on the creek bed was supposed to be like that.

Interesting. Are they trying to make it a highway? Or just improving traffic? It would be like 72nd. 144th is also slated to be six lanes in the future. I took a look and couldn't find anything about it in the 2035 LRTP, but went back to the 2030 LRTP and found a map that showed that 180th was to b...

Has anyone else heard that the long term plan for 180th street is 6 lanes from Interstate 80 in Sarpy county all the way through Sarpy and Douglas County to Fort Street? Is this good information that I heard? Yes, I'm pretty sure I read it in MAPA's long range transportation plan. I'll have to look...

Wow, that is insane!

Just drove by on my way home and more than half the building was gone.

They are all going to get overturned. Not sure why the same people that campaign to save money and cut taxes are going to blow a bunch of money fighting it... Exactly. There is no reasonable argument to support a ban of a union between two consenting adults. Yet our "fiscally conservative&quo...

Just finished watching the movie. It's on Netflix now. Thought it was really funny.

It's been said that Farnam was actually Omaha's original Main Street. I've heard that before. In fact, when I used to play SimCity all the time, I did that for my "Omaha" city (there's a thread around here somewhere on that) and made the highway pass north of the original town. Then as my...

No. It's too close to 120th, Old Mill and I-680. The Boys Town exit is a mess because it's a half mile from 132nd and 144th. Old Mill would have had to remain since it's pretty much the only way in and out of the area (they would have never redirected traffic to go 108th from Blondo) and that one is...

The creation of this thread makes me cold! Brrr...winter's coming fast.

Had the Reuben calzone...it was awesome! Can't wait to try the pizza tomorrow!

Thanks. Yeah, thinking more, of course it can't be the same project as that's west of 42nd.

Brad wrote:There is a third tower crane going up at UNMC. This tower crane is east of 42nd St. near 40th on top of the hill.

For the same project or something else?

Either way, that's crazy. There's a lot of great activity in this area!

So what ever happened to that Ferris wheel? That would be a great start. If Warren Buffet gave me a bunch a money, I would love to deck out the whole area! It's one of Omaha's best assets. First thing we need though is the pedestrian bridge extension to make the area WAY more accessible. I remember ...

Yeah, got there around 7:30 and sat at the bar.

Usually * is a wildcard consisting of any number of characters and ? is a wildcard consisting of just one character. I'm not sure if that applies to phpBB though.

Had the regular Reuben tonight as this was the first time I've tried their's and wanted the real thing. Was pretty good, although it was a little different than I'm used to as they slow cook it, which gives it a more smokey flavor. I was told the calzone and pizza are the best out of everything. Def...

Coyote wrote:Just talked with someone who lives there, they are probably going to redo the 156th and Blondo intersection with this project, expect a 12-18 month long mess.

I'm pretty sure that intersection is going to done in phase 2, where they widen 156th from Dodge to Corby.

I noticed the other day that the had also started to put up new traffic signals along this stretch as well.

Coyote wrote:I saw that they had painted lanes on the ramp a few days back, but was surprised how short the merge lane turned out to be.

I was thinking the same thing. It really should go a bit further like the ones on I-480.

NB Pacific St entrance to open tomorrow. The construction is finally coming to an end on I-680. Now if they could just complete I-80 between I-480 and 60th.

I actually had a modern plasma, so my problem with burn in was the ghosting issue which would eventually go away. If I was programming in Visual Studio for a few hours, I had the ghosting problem for at least a few hours. I sometimes used a screensaver that changed rapidly to get rid of it each time...

I used to use a 60" plasma as one of my computer monitors, but found out they are not very good for that situation. It wasn't just "burn in" that was a problem, which I knew was somewhat of a problem. I also had problems with "shadows" going horizontally across the screen fr...

out with the old in with the new. But there will be time for everyone to say good bye.

Omaha is getting cooler by the day.

- What's going on?

Not too good of a night last night. Serious tied again (2-2). Hopefully tonight will be better.

No idea, but that is beautiful!

It was so nice that the mainline was completely open this morning! Things seemed to flow much smoother.

Coyote wrote:Lane shifts on NB I-680 after Pacific St are gone this morning.

So 680 is completed?

Coyote wrote:Which segment opened today?

I remember reading the eastbound 80 to northbound 29 ramp was supposed to open.

I thought these two paragraphs were especially interesting:

“Each of these signals can talk to each other and say, ‘Hey, I'm sending 100 cars your way,’” said Pfitzer.

...

And if issues do pop up, the traffic signals can self-diagnose and ask for help.

But I do feel Chili Greens would be a better fit than Crossroads. Besides the continuity of the campus, they do have a lot of great business opportunities around there. Crossroads at this point doesn't have anything concrete.

So we can expect a lot of pork, lol. Sorry, couldn't resist.

I'm going there with a friend from work. Really looking forward to it

I have no idea. Is it some place in Benson?
