Omaha community members- we want to hear from you!
This site is dedicated to involving ALL Omaha community members with the unfolding process of crafting a new Downtown Master Plan and to gathering as much of your input as possible.
Our goal: to create a Downtown that embodies the characteristics and values of community members. Do not be bashful! Your idea could translate into the next, cool project downtown.
How can you make your voice heard?
- Add a comment to our blog below
- Come to the public input sessions and offer your feedback there
Thanks for your feedback and for taking the time to help create a community of which we all can be proud!
For those who couldn’t leave work, school or home - the final presentation is below. The PDF of the presentation that was shown during the meeting is available in the sidebar and here: Downtown Charrette Final Presentation from HDR.
Pre-recorded video: On-Air Friday March 20 from 12-2pm.
If you were working, at the mayoral debates or simply couldn’t make it… here’s the last 45 minutes of the meeting from Wednesday. Keep giving your input in the comments.
To start it off, let’s hear your thoughts on anything relating to the downtown area… what you’d like to see changed, preserved, ideas, etc.
This site was made for you to communicate your thoughts about the Downtown Master Plan.
If you haven’t been to any meetings - or if you have and you want to share more thoughts, please leave them in the comments section.
We’ll be streaming live the public input meetings that are being held Wednesday (March 18) and Thursday (March 19) nights of this week from 6:00-8:00 pm at the W. Dale Clark downtown public library (215 S. 15th Street).
We are also working to get video of the Monday and Tuesday night sessions from HDR, the firm contracted to facilitate the Downtown Master Plan.
We invite you to watch the sessions if you cannot attend them and give us your feedback and ideas for creating the downtown you always wanted (and if it already is the downtown you always wanted, for preserving the characteristics and qualities that make it so).
So grab your friends, colleagues and peers and check this out because you won’t want to miss being part of such an important community decision. Feedback received will be used in shaping a final master plan which will be offered to the City Council for approval this summer. A timeline and more information about the overall process will be available on this site shortly.
