Re: Let's play what if
Getting back to the original topic, what if I-80 had high mast lights posted at the 84th, 72nd, 60th and 42nd Street exits and the I-80/I-480/US 75 interchange, but still had traditional street lights posted in between those exits?

Railroad Crossings
Railroad crossings used to be pretty common in Omaha, but not anymore. There are still some, but not very many. But for years, I've often wondered something: Why do crossings with 2 or more tracks have signs warning drivers how many tracks there are?
Can anyone explain that?

I have to agree with Busguy2010. Removing the North Freeway is a bad idea for the reasons he listed. If it is removed, then all those trucks that use it will have to go back onto 24th and 30th Streets. Those streets were recently given road diets, so that wouldn't help at all.

When I look at Omaha on Google Earth and I look at historical satellite imagery, I'm actually amazed at how its grown over the last 30-40 years. The furthest back they go is 1984. And Omaha looked like a roughly small city at the time compared to today. Almost the size of Fargo and Sioux Falls.
