Mayor’s Grant Review and summary for the Hanscom Bark Park

MikeB — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 13:38:04 +0000

We completed the build of the Hanscom Bark park in late 2011. By all accounts it has been a success. As part of the funding for this project, we were lucky to receive the Mayor’s neighborhood grant. In an effort for complete transparency and to complete the requirements of the grant, we submit for review the final summary of the project.

We submit this to the neighbors in the Hanscom Park Neighborhood, the Mayor’s Office and the citizens of Omaha. We appreciate the faith of the Mayor in our abilities, the partners who helped complete the project and we are certain it will strengthen our neighborhood for years to come.

Weekend Snow Operation

MikeB — Fri, 02 Dec 2011 18:00:57 +0000

Thanks to Councilman Chris Jerram for sharing the upcoming plan with us!

The forecasts are in close agreement on tomorrow’s event.
Light rain may begin after midnight. This transitions to snow around 6:00 am.
The heaviest period of snow will be mid-day, ending around 6:00 pm.
We expect this to be a wet, heavy snow.
Gusty winds could be a problem tomorrow evening.
Flurries may continue until midnight.

We will have six and a foreman in each yard tonight until midnight tonight. They will monitor road conditions and have the brine trucks ready for the am crew.
Full crews will report at midnight. They will treat the majors with liquid until accumulating snow begins. We will then switch to granular. Plowing will begin when conditions dictate. The operation will likely continue through Monday.

The residential contractors have been told to stand-by. Its likely we will bring them in tomorrow after the accumulating snow ends. That could be from 6:00 pm to midnight tomorrow.

We will consider a snow emergency that would go into affect on Sunday. We’ll make that call tomorrow. The snow emergency would run thru Monday.

Based on the forecast, City Streets will be in poor condition throughout the day tomorrow; drivable but very sloppy. Conditions should improve considerably on Sunday as the operation proceeds. We will be cleaning up residentials on Monday; the majors should be fine for the Monday morning rush.
