City of Omaha adds Critical Link to 144th Street Trail |
|
|
|
As part of a roadway improvement project at 144th and Industrial Road, the City of Omaha has added the final link for the 144th Street Trail. The design firm for the trail was HGM Associates, one of our site sponsors.
Prior to the construction of this critical segment, trail users were forced onto the street at one of the busiest intersections in Omaha (ranked 12th in the metro area according to the Metropolitan Area Planning Agency). Access to the trail was not restricted as of this writing, however trail users should be cautious since construction is still ongoing.

Lamp Park Connector Underway |
|
|
|
Trail users and park enthusiasts will have a new recreational link to the Omaha trail network starting in June. Construction began this spring on the Lamp Park connector which starts at the park, located southeast of 114th and Davenport Streets, and runs south along the west side of the Big Papio. The trail will cross to the east side of the creek via the Pacific Street bridge where it will connect to the Big Papio trail.
The new connector will also link to Meadow Lane Park's interior trail system via an existing trail on Lamp Street. Although Meadow Lane Park's network currently terminates at 120th Street, future links are planned which will extend the trail to the west to Deer Ridge Park ultimately connecting to a trail near 132nd and Pacific.
Paul Martin will the City of Omaha Parks, Recreation, and Public Properties Department anticipates completion of the Lamp Park Connector around June 1st.
