Safe Trails Initiative Omaha / Multi-Use Trails System

When we talk about trail safety, part of the deal is to have clear sight lines and good visibility. Here is work that was started by a ninja and completed today by one of the STIO core group. Seeing around corners and have narrowing areas highlighted. Parts of the Keystone, the oldest section of the trail are only 8 ft wide. Most newer areas are 10 ft.

Well, that was a quick one. Yesterday no concrete barricades Keystone Trail Dodge St. underpass. Today all concrete barricades and the big guy is already in action! Maybe it will be completed before Nov 1? Thankfully the pollinator garden is still accessible.

The next set of barricades/trail closure signs are up, Keystone Trail no access to the Dodge St. underpass. On/off possible at the moment just past the NFM truck parking and on/off at the trail sign by Casey's. Soon will come the concrete barricades. There is no access via the stairs by Casey's or the sidewalk west of McD's. As of now, the Cass St. underpass is open.

FYI, contact with Parks today and hope to have the trim work done by the Fiserv Pedestrian bridge Keystone trail near Pacific St.. We've had some information and also first hand knowledge that smokers aren't paying attention to where they are standing. STIO has asked for a painted center line so people know that they are in a lane of traffic. Although this shows just 1 individual, we've had multiple reports of 5-6 people on the trail.

Keystone Trail just north of 72nd St. underpass should be open soon. Big equipment here has been removed. Concrete needs to be poured and then you'll be able to get a few hundred feet further before the next construction. Most of us would just LOVE to see the 72nd St. underpass usable as we are def. tired of crossing 72nd. Patience grasshoppers.

Keystone Trail north of Maple Street behind Design Plastic is now open.

FYI, the Safe Trails Initiative has a core group of advocates (Vanessa Urbach co-founder) from all over the metro area, including all types of trail users. Regarding trail signs on overpasses, our entire group has worked tirelessly on this and we are all grateful the signs are being installed. We would like to thank the Parks Planners, Kate, Madeline and John. Dave Austin from PRPP spent a good amount of time on this project, and our City Council Committee on Parks , Don Rowe, Pete Festersen and Brinker Harding were also involved in helping get the project completed this year!

Here is the suggested detour from Omaha City of Omaha Parks & Recreation for the detour along the Keystone and the latest piece of culvert replacement. You may come up with a detour that works better and has fewer points of conflict. Rose Blumkin Dr. has a good sidewalk all the way to Dodge St.
