NoDo
From Omaha Commons
NoDo is the name of a Downtown Omaha development, so-called because it is "north of downtown." The development will convert 80 blocks into an entertainment district. Currently the blocks are dominated by pawn shops, rooming houses, light industry, a vacant railyard and shuttered factories. The Tip Top factory has already undergone a $20 million renovation that includes loft apartments, and InPlay, an arcade.
[edit] Development
There are current plans would build a $40 dollar baseball stadium that would be the home of the AAA Omaha Royals and the Creighton University Bluejays. It would be located close to the Qwest Center.
A separate plan for new street cars is led by former mayor Hal Daub.[1] The proposed streetcars would cost $55 million and run in a 3.5-mile loop through Downtown Omaha and NoDo. It would cost about $2 million per year to operate and would serve almost 7,000 passengers in its first year. One route would run the cars from Creighton University near 20th and Webster streets, proceeding east to 10th Street, passing by the Qwest Center and moving south to Jackson Street in the Old Market. After that it would then move west to 16th Street and then north to Farnam before returning to 10th Street.[2]
