Re: First National Center
Quite an interesting rumor! It would definitely be a nice shot in the arm for a stronger residential presence on the northern side of Downtown

Re: 2025 Omaha Mayoral election
I'd rather see more of a forum than a debate. Allow candidates to present their ideas to the public and be asked direct questions without needing to take shots at each other as a central component haha.almighty_tuna wrote: ↑Wed Apr 03, 2024 11:57 am That would be a fantastic episode of Grow Omaha.

Re: Omaha Streetcar Discussion
Interesting note: Omaha has received $300,000 as part of federal funding for planning for TOD. In particular, it's to plan for TOD around the 19th street extension of the streetcar. 3 miles would be enough to get a line to Ames https://www.wowt.com/2024/04/02/city-omaha-receiving-300k-grant-transit-...

Re: Omaha Streetcar Discussion
If that were true, the City of Omaha would not be an aggressive annexing entity. I think that's an entirely different thing. If Omaha Doesn't annex what it can, it could lose the option to do so later. Probably the absolute best example is St Louis. Where St Louis City is like 250,000 people, is th...

Re: Omaha Streetcar Discussion
If the core was remotely close to being full, sure I can maybe buy that argument. But we are nowhere close to that. It would seem to be more prudent to expand the traditional core (from the City of Omaha’s point of view), then, rather than paying for a bridge so that Broadway sees some additional a...

I really love CB's notion of a multimodal bridge across the mo for bikes/pedestrians as an extension of the 1st Ave trail and an accompanying streetcar line. The opportunity for dense, car-independent development a quick train ride from downtown is huge. What I haven't seen so far is a real outward...

I'd say it's mildly surprising after all of the stuff she went through early in this term, but good for her. As I said before, even as a pretty firm progressive, I'd vote for her if I lived in Omaha.

What they’re looking for is commuting patterns though. Hard numbers. There aren’t agendas to that. According to the 2020 5 year ACS data I’ve found, only about 3,000 people from Douglas county commute to Lancaster county for work, a bit higher than the 2015 numbers of around 2,300. To hit a CSA thre...

I'd be okay if they wanted to extend it to the airport by way of 16th street and Carter Lake. Streetcars aren't much of a transportation solution.
