Brick Streets Remaining In Omaha

[Busguy2010]

I though this could be a fun one. I had a thought about, wow, there's actually still quite a few stretches of brick roads in Omaha still around today. So I thought it would be fun to go on a forum scavenger hunt for those brick roads still remaining, both obvious and obscure. So I started this map :

I hope I've made it so the public can edit. Let me know if you can or not.

I dont think we can edit it. I wanted to add the street I grew up on cuz its still brick.

I see no option to edit it.

Got darn it. I tried to make it possible, but it looks like you'd have to have a Google account and I'd have to manually enter your Google name in approved editors. Sounds like too much work... They used to have a feature where all the public could edit if you chose to do so.

So maybe we can just name them off and I can add them... What were those streets?

I went back and added quite a few I noticed just from browsing Google Maps.

Phelps St from 13th to 16th.

W Center Frontage road from 94th to 97th.
Old Lincoln Highway from 174th and Burt to about 188th or so.

W Center Frontage road from 94th to 97th.

I'm extremely surprised there hasn't been anything done on that stretch. It is very busy.

And on the other part you mentioned, its interesting that both are part of the historic Old Lincoln Highway.

I'm not sure if you're interested in the outskirts of Omaha, but here are the brick roads in Gretna:

Martha Street from 32nd to 35th. Arbor Street from 33rd to 35th. 33rd from Arbor to Martha.

[Padre]

N 56th, between Corby and Blondo.

Thanks, since you mentioned that, I did a little exploring through South, Near South, Little Italy, and that area pretty well takes the cake for brick streets. The stretch of 15th & Castelar is currently the longest in my explorations at 1.5 miles (I don't count breaks due to paved cross streets).

N 56th, between Corby and Blondo.

That's a good long one close to my backyard that I totally forgot about. I added it. Check out the map, I'm really starting to find a lot of not well-know brick streets.
