I'm sure they simply have further political aspirations to run on a republican ticket.

They are just doing as is expected of them.

As always, politics is the poison of our society.

The EPA actually ordered more test samples for lead contamination back in November, and they are removing the top layer of soil/concrete to clean up any residual lead contamination.

The parking lot will be repoured

On the other side of the coin, we don't have anything that truly is one of a kind. But to be honest, I feel like if we had something that really did stand out, and was a little 'out there,' we'd have more people complaining about it than praising it.

theres the Omaha I'm talking about!

Commercial architecture-wise, Omaha is very bland and unoriginal, and there's no denying it. In some ways yes. But there are some very good architecture in A :oops: ksarben Village, Midtown Crossing, the pedestrian bridge, the parks along the riverfront, some of the downtown housing, along with som...

It would be nice if they'd build something like Des Moines' EMC Insurance building, with a 'crown', or maybe like Nashville's 'batman' building... but I'm not going to hold my breath. I'm sure HDR will come up with something nice, whether it's a 300 footer or not, no big deal. These are terrible bu...

Wow, here is a nice one from Channel 6 that made it on Jimmy Fallon last night: https://www.facebook.com/collin.ruane.3/videos/10204285672369969/?pnref=story That was awesome. It's always best when a news anchor/reporter owns their gaffs, rather than try to sneak past it. Either way, embarassing fo...

Your convenience is an insult to the masses, you evil car man.

The findings of this report are so large it is nearly funny. Paving our way to oblivion is going to bankrupt this city. Finding new ways to move people and getting people living on existing infrastructure isn't just some "millennial" fad. Our city's future is depending on it. Totally agre...

The best post to this thread since the project was given the "green light" a few days ago- a "Joemoney" reference.. Not only his "mansion" but his multiple Ayn Rand references. I miss his banter from even back on the old Chamber forum.. Oh well, bottom line, I could gi...

It is possible the funding is in place, but the actual work hasn't started yet. It's obvious somewhere along the line there have been funding problems, but from what I've heard about 3 weeks ago the project is moving forward. I was answering S33's original question why projects don't happen, I stil...

Not really. More like a vocal minority, but oh well glad this is happening.

Lol. You're so full of |expletive|.

Let's be honest... very few of us actually believed this project was going anywhere but the same trash bin WST was dumped into, Cdub's inside info or not.

Well first off I never thought it was dead, just |expletive| around, got bored. Second of all I wasn't picking apart anything. I just said it was great to see the metro still has what it takes to pull off a superb lock (larger than one block) high rise ( buildings with multiple floors) development....

Ok, you were mad about the lack of development and, now that it appears it's going to be built, you're going to start picking apart the design of the project?

(or did I pick up sarcasm where it didn't exist?)

S33

Considering this is in Sioux Falls, that project is huge; some might say "unrealistically ambitious". If they pull this off, I'll be impressed. Omaha, as we have recently witnessed, has had a very tough time even starting construction on a project very similar in size and scope. good for t...

I'm not a huge proponent or opponent of the death penalty, and I'm also on the fence (well I am now) with governor Ricketts. But, vowing to execute up to ten prisoners currently sitting on death row simply out of a spiteful stubbornness from, what I presume, is a billionaires mentality they achieve ...

S33

Great news for the project, bad news for me. I thought for sure this project was following down the path of WST.

Shows what I know...

S33

There were barricades around WST for years

Dang. That's marginally cheaper than the post 9/11 prices, which were insanely cheap.

Who put together the framework for the RFP?

Nobody needs to get butthurt if this is not built, absolutely true. However, I think it may be prudent from all sides to find out exactly what is going on that is preventing these projects from coming to life, if in fact this becomes a pattern. Well this is pretty much the easiest question to answe...

Every time I drive back from KC, I consider taking 34, but always thought it was a toll road. Thanks for clearing that up, I'll definitely be taking that to avoid the cluster**** that is I-80 in Omaha. It's definitely can be faster than going I-80 thru CB, and a nicer drive. Just a fair warning, th...

It's strange how clear it is that we have a deficit in infrastructure spending, which is pretty clear to everyone, but no one wants to pay for it. The "we just need to spend the money we have more wisely" argument is bogus too; the inflation-adjusted transportation funding is steadily dec...

I have this problem with any website that allows you to store a password. I think it has much more to do with the browser, than it does the website.

If I had the free time, I'd love to see how many of these posts actually pertain to factual information, updates, and rumors vs. complaining about the project, the city, and what everyone else is doing. My guess is that the latter beats the former by far more than half. The project doesn't appear t...

The "Notifications" tool is sure nice. Not having something like that before, was always my biggest pet peeve.

An 8 team playoff is inevitable, its not a question of if but only when. As far as the arguement for logistics of a playoff system, that could be easily solved with the higher seeded team hosting the game. Unless I read it wrong, I was thinking his idea was for individual conference playoffs, then ...

This whole chain of events has to be the sickest and most depraved I can ever remember since moving to Omaha! :( Saddening and depressing even to think of it! :( This and the tale of the Niko Jenkins Family are pretty high up there on the WOW scale. Yep and Yep. As if this entire event weren't sad ...

Mike is right. The logistics would be a cluster |expletive|. 15-20 thousand basketball fans for 1 game is manageable, even when duplicated for several teams at once, or an entire bracket regional. But football is too large of an in-house audience, and the logistics needed to pull off the even is too...
