Re: It’s that time of year again- 2017 Metro population estimates coming officially on 3/22/18

So Wiki was updated, it has the CSA at 970,023 and the growth rate since 2010 at 7.54%. Lincoln at 353,120 with a rate of 8.83%. Omaha Lincoln CSA of 1,323,143. Lol So I took the average yearly growth from 2010 to 2017 and got 999,156 by 2020. However the growth has slowly accelerated since 2010 so ...

Oh good, that’s not the high rise but that’s another big building. I think it’s the one with the rental space and fog machine.

The west roads could swell to 1.5 or 2 million we could land more of that tourism coin. Even though it’s just co...

Re: 150th & Dodge Interchange

They're really adding to the quirky nature of that exit. I feel like both this and the Boys Town exit need to be removed. They are too close to the other exits and cause major congestion. It's nice for the neighborhood (and I use it everyday), but it is detrimental to the traffic flow on Dodge. I'm...
