Omaha has a problem with maintaining accessible pedestrian options, especially around construction projects. This situation is neither inevitable nor without remedy. Many cities require transportation management plans when construction will block pedestrian infrastructure.
Sign our petition encouraging the city to adopt policies consistent with other comparable cities that recognize the need for accessible pedestrian infrastructure.
I was just walking down 72nd street the other day. Both sides of 72nd at the Mart and See’s Candies had impassable sidewalks. I waited until the traffic took a break so I could walk in the street.
