Money in politics is a HUGE problem. It’s completely inappropriate for one person/family/company to have such an outsized influence no matter which side of the aisle.

Said differently, we only use this as an echo chamber. @DundeeOmaha
For a neighborhood that prides itself on being thoughtful and progressive, the @DundeeOmaha board sure did stumble all over itself on this one.
They killed an objectively safer design.
Facts, research, national case studies don't matter when it comes to infrastructure in Dundee. Influential people with money matter. And they organized well.
Mode Shift is sad that Farnam won't be a two way street.
I’m embarrassed but not surprised by the NIMBYism and ignorance on display right now by @DundeeOmaha. 😞

Roundabouts are EXACTLY what’s needed at these intersections. I’m so disappointed in the @DundeeOmaha neighborhood association board’s action on this. https://www.ketv.com/article/omaha-city-council-to-vote-on-construction-and-planning-contracts-for-roundabouts-on-farnam/43490161
