The North Saddle Creek Business Improvement District board addressed ongoing projects and upcoming priorities, focusing heavily on the district’s streetscape construction, which is behind schedule. The design is 90% complete, but members noted delays in implementation and unresolved issues like missing parking spaces near one business. Chair Josh Hannum said he plans to arrange a walking tour with City of Omaha officials to assess progress and determine adjustments. Landscaping maintenance was also discussed, with members weighing options like partnering with the Dundee BID for water access or investing in their own system.
The board also revisited holiday lighting plans for 2025, budgeted at $10,000. Members discussed whether to buy or rent decorations and whether to light every pole or only half. Board secretary Molly Kliment-Jenkins will continue discussions with Jordan Brothers contractors to refine the proposal.
