City and community officials gathered Wednesday to discuss the 2025 Lincoln on the Move Annual Report, which details street improvements completed during the most recent construction season. “Well maintained streets support public safety, economic development, housing construction, and our quality of life,” Mayor Leirion Gaylor Baird says.
“Streets shape how we move through our city, how neighbors connect, and how Lincoln grows.” Lincoln on the Move is funding ten street projects in its sixth year of the initiative. Once all projects in the first phase of the initiative are constructed, Lincoln on the Move will have completed 66 projects and 220 lane miles of improvements to existing streets and construction of new streets.
LTU Director Liz Elliott says the City completed three large street projects in 2025, with completion of a fourth expected late summer 2026. Six additional projects are being designed and are scheduled to be completed in 2026, 2027, and 2028.
“Thanks to Lincoln voters who approved the continuation of the quarter-cent sales tax last spring, we’re ready to begin the second phase of Lincoln on the Move as we continue our commitment to safe, reliable, and high-quality streets throughout the next eight years of the program,” Elliott says.
