Join us October 13 & 14
Mode Shift Omaha is happy to be working with Restoration Exchange Omaha on their upcoming tour of the historic Bemis Park neighborhood. October 13 – 14, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., MSO will be providing bike valet services at Augustana Lutheran Church, 3647 Lafayette Avenue.
In addition to bike valet, we are recommending that people consider arriving by bus as there is very limited parking in these historic neighborhoods. Please note: Saturday and Sunday service will have different schedules. All times are approximate. We recommend using Google Maps for plotting a more precise plan from your specific location.

Thanks for the details on the bus times. However, check the ometro website as many of these routes get canceled if there are no drivers. I ran into that problem recently and had a near miss with an event. (had to drive).
Thanks for the bus details. However, due to driver shortage, it is best to check ometro website to see if the routes are canceled or when they are running. Almost missed an event due to no service….had to drive my car:(
