This is certainly breaking the mold of most recent east Omaha developments that provide roughly the same amount of parking as units. Between this and the Colonial, which has next to no dedicated parking, it will really put a test out there for how much parking developers need to provide and how wel...

Too late. New airport has already been ordered. 3 day shipping on Amazon, construction starts next Monday.

Okay, but what Omaha does need is better mass transit to the airport. Here's the current city bus: http://www.ometro.com/index.php/route/route-16/ You'll notice it only runs on weekdays, 3 hours each in the morning and evening. That's pretty fraking pathetic. I flew back from the east coast last yea...

There are 50 parking stalls in a podium parking garage beneath the building. Between the 800 stall lot to the northeast and the 200 stalls to the southwest there seems to be ample parking for this building - kudos for finding shared parking solutions instead of building more surface parking. That's...

Now's the time to push for a return of sidewalks. (Pedestrian Lives Matter!) There are many places where two people can't pass each other. The return to a two-way street was the first step the neighborhood needed to rebuild, but now we need to take the next step.

That picture was cropped just enough to not verify Slate's future. But to me, it seems like the building goes to the end of the block.

So, is Slate Architecture moving then?

Considering Lot B doesn't even fill up during the CWS... Lot D usually has hundreds of empty stalls too. Well, it doesn't fill up during an out of town event. Most of the people in the stadium pictured probably stayed in a DT hotel. But what about an in town event, like a Creighton game or a concert?

Thanks for the photos. That view may come in handy for updates on the hotel at Dodge and Saddlecreek as well :;): I would like to get up there often, but as people move into their offices in the Cancer Center, it'll be less likely each day. There's quite a bit of restricted space in that building.

Whoa now. Crappy is my skill level, I have a monopoly on it. You take your fancy whirlybird and $8000 camera back up to the pro-level and leave us amateurs alone.

Yeah, but it's not the NebMed hotel. It's separate from the hospital, here's the Home 2 thread.

Is the interchange at 192nd street supposed to connect to the Platteview highway? The Platteview Road site leads me to think they want to connect to the Gretna exit, but 192nd seems like a viable alternative.

I think I liked the color of brick better in the earlier rendering, but I also noticed that there are now 3 balconies instead of 2. Better than that is to make a parking deck on the back half of the 2nd floor (only need 3 spots), and make the apartments into 3 townhouses on the 2nd/3rd floor with r...

Of course, I'd be in favor of keeping the current bridge if we could address it correctly. And by correct, I mean addressing the needs of pedestrians traveling between DT and N.DT. For example, click the link below to see how Chinatown has grown under the Manhattan Bridge in NYC. https://www.google....

Or are you saying to eliminate the interstate entirely and make it a city street? Yes. But... I think instead of 10 intersections, we need to only keep 10th street, 12th, 16th, and 20th. The on-ramp going west still picks up after 20th, bridging over 24th. The on-ramp going east would be redevelope...

If the city wants to make the Riverfront and North Downtown happen, they need to really consider making I480 into a street-level boulevard.

It's definitely a barrier between NDT and downtown. Really the only option to eliminate it as a barrier would be to build a tunneled section through the downtown area that would emerge before the Missouri bridge. A project like that would most likely be in the possible billions of dollars range, so...
