My only experience with streetcars was riding one in Kansas City... Psst. It's not really about transit. Chances are many of those amenities you're seeing along KC's line came WITH or on the heels of the streetcar line. https://nextcity.org/urbanist-news/kc-s ... in-purpose It appears the link is b...

How about "Pedestrian Zero", where a group aims to reduce pedestrian deaths by teaching people to not do dumb shi- like walk in traffic when drunk, step out in front of cars, or meander through parking lots as though they're giant sidewalks. Hel1, how about "Subtle Zero" and pos...

Is this mainly just to get truck traffic out of Fremont? Cause if you're just a person passing through Fremont, this would be inefficient or a wash at best. I'm not even Sure?

I think the Little Bo apartments are open for leasing. Here's the website: https://www.littlebobungalowsandflats.com/ There's about 20 units available. $1000 for studio, $1100 for 1 bed, and $1700 for 2 bed. Looks like they’re using one of the native Enscape backgrounds/skybox. I’m not quite sure w...

They really downsized from the dundee location. I remember I went and was so disappointed to see how little selection they had. I wonder what drove them to move.

A 10-15 story condo wont happen there! Why? Because people walk around naked in their apartments when they are 3 or more stories up. EMC insurance in Des Moises bought a development plot for this reason---because people were walking around naked in the 6 story Wilkons building and they were getting...

You get a foot of vertical height for every 50 from the runway.

City height limits on this site are 275’, FAA limit is about 250 on this specific site.

The goal is to reduce congestion and increase the turnover of parking spaces for on-street parking. Why would meters run from 4pm-2am? Because thats when parking is scarce in Blackstone. All this talk of dynamic parking rates and its lost on you why we would have meters run from 4pm-2am in Blacksto...

Data is kind of old already from 2019-2020, so maybe this data's already irrelevant. I’ll go with irrelevant. If anything, Omaha at this point appears to be reversing this trend. Data pre pandemic and inclusive of the pandemic year of 2020, I’m highly skeptical of..along with the 2021 US Census est...

Heard there was a pretty bad crash about an hour ago involving an ORBT bus at 72nd & Dodge. I don't have details. New bus probably totaled. Edit: Might have been just the stop. I will be driving by in about two hours. Guy waiting at the stop injured. It was the bus stop. https://twitter.com/oma...

Cap I-480, build the stadium on top and call the street car stop Stadium. Get that Federal Government money $$$$$ Better yet, eliminate 480 as a controlled access interstate at Douglas (at a minimum) and redesign the 480 hwy 75 interchange as a roundabout for two intersecting boulevards instead of ...

Looks like the perfect footprint for an Aldi/gateway type of store in the southeast lot. I’m sure there will be the inevitable auto parts store thrown in the mix. That was my thought as well...

Wonder if there being a streetcar station on that corner in the future will help. Not as much in the development way, but more of an actual bringing more people in way. I'd have to think that will be just the shot in the arm this place could use. This is definitely something to consider. I foresee ...

I don’t think the comments on the obvious reductions in budget, and the impact they’ve had on the final product of the capitol district, can be understated. Every time I’ve been to the capitol district it has been nothing but disappointment. Cheap finishes among the district and the tenants in the s...

Looking into the future, I think a park at this location is only a plus. If downtown continues densifying, we will appreciate all of the green space we can get. An intimate, active park is a completely different environment than a city’s main large park. Not that Omaha can relate to NY much, but I l...

I’m really hoping they find a way to separate the streetcar from automobile traffic. It will take the streetcar from simply a development tool into an actual effective form of transportation for Omaha.

Beltways only ever increase suburban sprawl. We’d have subdivisions pushing out even further if there was a western belt. Indeed. Beltways serve no purpose other than to make the city duller. I understand what you both are saying, but I'm saying it would have been different in Omaha. Specifically b...

Is there less gravity at this site? In the rendering there's a man floating in the air above the black car and the back ends of both of the parked cars are slightly off the ground.

Super interesting thread that shows how much Omaha has to gain from Chicago’s potential renaissance as America’s transportation hub.

I am not going to waste time sharing the same sentiment that almost everyone has already mentioned. I do really hope that they give pedestrians (and bikes and public transit) actual attention at the intersection. A pedestrian bridge over the intersection is an lazy solution that paints the picture o...

Bikeways cost so much less than rode widenings, highway construction, and even public transit! Great value for easy and quick transportation.

Why does the state insist on new plates every few years? Seems like quite a waste of time and money imo.

God what a lame proposal. I hate when developers absolutely ignore what cities are asking for on lots. They really thought the city would just accept their boring suburban idea out of desperation. Curious if other developers are also eyeing the lot right now. CB clearly has a stronger back than its...

How about a pilot where all the parking is removed and turned into outdoor areas for patrons to sit eat and drink in the sun. Those 30 single occupancy parked cars can go somewhere else.

Honestly, I’ll take Lindstrom, given the odds of electing any non-conservative is highly unlikely. At least he’s not a complete noodlehead. We’ve had an embarrassment of a governor for the past 8 years, and we don’t need someone looking to beat his lunacy.

Even looking at that simple organizational roof plan shows the ingenuity of the design.
