Re: Downtown Omaha Master Plan

I do NOT have a "car centric belief". But even if I did, I don't need some self-righteous know-it-all telling me how "out of touch" I am, giving me a bunch of grief and trying to make me feel guilty and/or ashamed of it.

Re: Downtown Omaha Master Plan

No one is seriously suggesting getting rid of all cars. But that doesn't mean that we have to further promote their use, especially not downtown (which, I'll remind everyone, what this thread is about). If car usage can be reduced anywhere in Omaha, it is downtown. If people in the rest of the city...

It was REALLY hard to get it right. I hope this is satisfactory. Actual (How it was built): https://cdn-...

Re: Downtown Omaha Master Plan

I just want to say I really like what they city's done over the past 20+ years to clean up the riverside area downtown. Before it was just a huge ugly mess with warehouses, factories and a big trainyard. It was an eyesore. I'm sure most will agree with that. It's kind of like Spokane before Expo '74.

Denver International has 2 United clubs on the B Concourse. One on the west, another on the east. I’ve walked past both entrances. They have really long escalators that go up to the lounges.

I’ll admit sometimes I would get a little envious of what they have up there, but not insanely jealous.
