Lincoln residents will have an opportunity to attend a Downtown Corridors project open house from 5 to 7 p.m. Monday, September 12. it will be held in the lobby of Union Bank & Trust near near 12th and O Street.
Participants will be able to take a look at refined streetscape concepts and alternatives for segments of “O”, Ninth, 10th, 11th and 14th streets downtown. Members of the project team will be on hand to accept comments.
The Planning Department, Urban Development Department and Downtown Lincoln Association are in the early stages of planning the renovation of the major streetscape corridors in downtown Lincoln. Initial input for the project was provided through public surveys and an open house earlier this year.
The project team then developed concepts, such as incorporating medians to create safer pedestrian crossings, designing North 14th Street between “O” and “P” streets as a festival space and considering ways to create incubator spaces for start-up businesses.
The plan for renovation is anticipated to be complete in late 2022.
