The same service can be provided to Mutual of Omaha on rubber wheels for much less cost and greater flexibility.

The street car idea is ludicrous and it appears to benefit very few. This boondoggle should not fall on taxpayer shoulders. Make businesses pay for it!

This streetcar will tie up traffic in the downtown area too. Construction will make the commute to downtown chaotic as well as repositioning of traffic before construction and after construction. Are the streets going to be widened downtown along the route?

Wasteful project. Do not take away lanes for traffic. Do not fall into the trap of another boondoggle. Send trolleys or buses on wheels along the route if there is demand, do not dig up and rail the streets.

If MOO wants streetcars, MOO should pay for every related expenses and not one penny of it should fall on the backs of Omaha taxpayers. This is a pure vanity project at a time when people are struggling just to survive in this ridulously high tax city and state. Stop trying to turn Omaha into Chicago and do something about the horrible roads and high crime rate!

Expand the Metro bus system to go far west, north, and south. The streetcar will not help those areas who need the transportation more than downtown needs a small area that easily gets metro transit.

The Omaha taxpayers will get saddled with paying for this “new shiny object” so that Mutual of Omaha can get maximum dollars out of their existing property.
