Streetcar system? I don’t see it in your plan. Bikes are only a partial solution.
Chris, The master plan includes more than biking but not sure about street car system; although the design plans would likely be conducive to street cars as well. In conjunction with the master plan, the city will also be doing a transportation alternatives analysis in the midtown to downtown corridor that will consider costs, etc. for all modes of transportation, including street cars (see OWH article about it here: http://www.omaha.com/article/20120127/NEWS01/701279876#one-last-look-at-streetcars). Come to the Heyday tomorrow and ask the City planners questions about it!
You’ve probably already seen this, but in case not, FYI:
