PARKING that's all you can say sir? So your pushing transportation regression on a form of transport thats in the rite of way and cannot stear to avoid traffic and pedestrians? If this is the case why not do like Denver does and offer free bus coridoors in heavy buisness areas and if it doses not work you take it out in a days time. Your story about hop on and hop off works for busses to and without maintaining dangerous high maintenance rail embedded in the roadway. If Omaha wants to stand out why not look Into open container in the old market area or completely seprate right of way transport or even better FREE MAT bus far for allmost 10 years whitch will equal the initial cost of all this. Can you please adress these issues becuase it's very comcerning you want to install a regressive toy in the name of practicality and parking when their are far cheaper, quicker alternative and far more logical options.👎👎
