community input sought for omaha transportation plan

The theme for updating the transportation plan is to move people, not necessarily cars. The variety of people moving modes are: walking, biking, transit, automobiles, freight, air.

Even if you don't have specific input, I encourage you to visit a workshop and see what are some of the ideas on the drawing boards. If you see something you like, mention it so the planners get an idea of how strong the community supports that concept.
