W. S. Cleveland The eminent landscape architect Horace W. S. Cleveland set forth this vision of urban life in an address tO,the Min­ , ., neapolis Society ofFine Arts in 1888. bn¢ year later ~. , Cleveland would be called to Omaha by the newly formed Board of Park Commissioners to design 'a public green­ space system for the city booming on the bluffs of the Missouri River. Through th'tefforts ofCle,:eland, public officials and civic-minded citizens, the foundation was laid for a park and boulevard system that has "inspired ami sustained" Omaha residents by its "grandeur and beauty" for more than one hundred years. While the natural beauty and recreational benefitsoi ' , !; , Omaha's parks are widely appreciated, aspects of the sys­ , tem's historic importance have not been fully recognized. ! Because of its association with H.W. S. Cleveland - an important figure in 19th c«ntury American landscape architecture - Omaha's park and boulevard systemsbr' vives as a signjficant lanqrnark in landscape design and urban planning in the Midwest.

  • October 3, 2019 SUBJECT: Beltline Trail Interlocal Agreement with City of Omaha and Omaha Municipal Land Bank
    MEMORANDUM TO: Programs, Projects, and Operations Subcommittee FROM: Eric Williams, Natural Resources Planner DATE: October 3, 2019 SUBJECT: Beltline Trail Interlocal Agreement with City of Omaha and Omaha Municipal Land Bank The purpose of this Interlocal Agreement is to specify the terms and conditions upon which the City of Omaha, Omaha Municipal Land Bank, and the NRD will collaborate to design, develop, construct, operate and maintain the Beltline Trail. This project is generally located from Hamilton Street at Military Ave, to 31st and Sprague Street. The corridor of the former railroad known as the “Omaha Beltline” has been vacant for multiple decades, and has been repeatedly identified in planning documents as a potential location for development of a combined recreation and active transportation corridor. The most comprehensive work on this concept was completed in 2012 by the nonprofit design group Emerging Terrain, but no action was taken on land acquisition or construction on any of the former railroad property. Creation of the Omaha Municipal Land Bank provided an organization with the specific purpose “to serve as a catalyst for transforming distressed properties into community assets.” Beginning in 2017, NRD staff met with the Land Bank and other organization to discuss what steps would be necessary to move forward with the concept of the trail corridor. A preliminary design document highlighted that strategic acquisition of properties from relatively few owners would allow for connection between many major community features; Walnut Hill Elementary School, City Sprouts (nonprofit community garden), Omaha Permaculture, King Elementary School, Adams Park, Malcolm X Memorial Foundation, North Omaha Transit Center.
