Local auto repair shops are cringing now that Mayor Beutler has announced 310 blocks worth of arterial street resurfacing. 310 blocks is a lot, so get used to the idea of orange cones, detours, and inconveniences. Judging by this list, pretty much every corner of Lincoln will be affected:

A St. from 17th to 27th, 63rd to Imperial Dr.
Adams from I0180 to 14th, 57th to 62nd
Cornhusker from Russell to 70th
Holdrege from 19th to 25th, N 33rd to 47th, N 70th to N 79th
Old Cheney from Salt Valley View to Hunts
O St. from 15th to 44th, Wedgewood to 84th
P from 17th to 27th
Pioneers Blvd. from 32nd to 54th
Saltillo Rd. from US 77 to 70th (Lancaster County selection)
Sheridan from South to Calvert
Van Dorn from 33rd to 48th, Normal to 70th
Vine from 70th to Sierra
Y from 18th to 27th
NW 1st from Highland to Fletcher
S 27th from Alpha to A
N 33rd from P to Holdrege
40th and Superior bridge deck
S 56th from South to Randolph
N 70th from Adams to Vine

This should all be considered good news, based on other recent postings/comments that reflect the public’s feeling that some rehab around the city is preferable to a few new roads on the fringes.

I didn’t make it clear in my post, but I agree: this is very good news. Not as good news as “We found enough money to catch up on all of our transportation needs, including the South and East beltways, without raising taxes!” But it’s a heck of a start.

Sounds like since the snow is off the ground, we are moving from Winter into Season 2 in NE: Construction. Thank God that means were closer to Season 3: Football.

PS. Yes, there are only three seasons
