First building istopped out, wrap going on the exterion, and the public improvements to the street are under way. Looks like they are getting "back-in" angle parking.

as a frequent bike commuter I love all the back-in angle parking the city is building. it's much safer to ride past parked cars!

I use to live in the art decos at park ave which have it and I really dig it. Easier to back in to a parking spot than to back out into a street.

I disagree. While there is the issue of backing out partially blind from some "normal" diagonal parking spots, there is never a difficulty in judging the angle with which you pull into or out of those spaces. Not so with reverse parking spaces.
I try to avoid both options, and so far have totally avoided these backward parking areas.

I love back-in angle parking. I know we don't have a lot of retail on the street here, but it works so much better loading things in the trunk and is way safer pulling out. It might be a little harder to pull in, but the more comfortable people get the easier it will become. It is still easier than parallel parking for most people.

Not to contribute to derailing this discussion, but I'm also a big fan of back-in angle parking. Backing in to perpendicular parking is safer too, and unless I need to load or unload bulky stuff from the trunk, I generally back into typical surface-lot spaces too. It's a simple matter of doing the visually obscured operation (backing up) into a known vacant space, and then having clear visibility for pulling out into traffic. For those not used to backing up (I got my experience backing farm equipment into tight spaces), it is a very different skill, but after some practice, it's a lot safer overall.

I'm in the process of purchasing one of these homes. As far as the back-in parking goes, as a driver, I don't like it. Having to wait for people who aren't used to doing it is irritating. Maybe it won't be much of an issue on 10th street. I guess like anything, I'll get used to it.

Will yours have a rooftop deck with a view?

It will. I think all of the first phase units have a rooftop deck. I'm visiting Omaha next week to pick out the final finishes.
