![]() ![]() These are the day care centers are located in Sarpy County, Nebraska. 10-15 years down the road we won't need this thing either.In Sarpy County we currently have 51 day care centers and child care service providers. You can get anywhere in the city in a half hour very easily with time to spare. I would rather spend the heaps of money on public works projects like libraries, courthouses, parks, etc than blowing it on a project that we don't/won't need in the future.Īnd we still don't have a traffic problem to justify it. Then we will have a million of miles of unused asphalt and concrete laying around for no good reason. ![]() What happens if/when they build this beltway and then gas goes up to $10 a gallon since there is very little of it remaining? Nobody is going to want to drive anywhere because of the high costs of getting around. Houston has two loops and everything that gets developed around them is |expletive|. Basically, less of a dependance on the automobile is what I am talking about. streetcars, BRT lines, commuter rail, a more effective bus system. What's the smallest city that has recently comleted a light rail system? I love the idea of a light rail in Omaha, just not sure if we will ever get that big. I knew the pro light rail crowd would hate this. Greg S wrote:If you look at right now how long it takes to get to the interstate to go downtwon from Elkhorn, you see the need. I don't think anyone's really pushing for an outer loop. What the heck are they going to do for the northwest side of the metro? I was thinking Hwy 36 running on the north side of Bennington would be prime for a north loop, which would then hook up with Blair High Road with an interchange at 680. ![]() What you could do here is curve south and west of Gretna like I said, use part of Hwy 31 until you can connect with 275 and wa-la!ģ. However, 275 doesn't begin until you get to Center, which then heads north all the way to Fremont. Curve around Gretna and hook up with 275 quickly. what are you gonna do, just tear these houses up? I don't think so.Ģ. would need major work, and even then, houses are nearly butting up against 204th St. The off ramps you'd need for Harrison, Q, Giles, etc. The more I think about it, Hwy 31 is running out of time. Hook up with Hwy 31 quickly after passing south and west of Gretna. From here this is what I think should happen.ġ. Looking at the map and what I see developing out there right now, the southern loop will have to go south of Gretna unless you want to tear up the whole town. when is the right time, where will they build it, will it be too late? I wonder too often who's got their eye on this stuff. Sorry to dig this one up, but I like this map. If I were Sarpy county, Id jump all over this. They need to identify the corridor between Gretna and the Chalco area ASAP though. I took the liberty of also filling in on W Dodge becauase we all know it will be controlled access all the way out in a few years. I agree that this will be needed at some point.

You know.they could always build onto that 680/80/Lstreet intersection and make an 880 intersection.though it'd be nasty and lenthy.and the interstate wouldn't go much farther out than what is needed.i think the map he drew works - though a little out there Unfortunately, it didn't work out that way - the freeway will run west where Dodge hits I-680. For Omaha to be that way, a freeway would need to branch off I-680 right where I-80 meets it. In many ways, I'm frustrated with Omaha's freeway systerm, as I like freeway systems lining-up clean and neat. They are definitely going to need to build a new freeway in the future, and I'm assuming it will be a north-south loop running through the Elkhorn Valley. It is amazing that I-680 was strung around the western edge of Omaha, and now it is almost the middle of town. Yeah, I've entertained the thought of that for a long time.
