Ewing Addresses Concerns of Businesses Along Streetcar Route

Omaha Mayor John Ewing addressed concerns yesterday from business owners affected by streetcar construction. The city is taking immediate steps to lessen the impact including improved on-site safety and cleanliness as well as $1 garage-parking sessions for route-business’ employees and customers. Improved communication efforts include text message notifications, digital updates on road closures and a marketing campaign. Ewing said we are now “in the thick of the heaviest construction” and construction is running ahead or on track.
