  • Appendix B – Transportation Profile
    APPENDIX B TRANSPORTATION PROFILE Transportation Inventory Roadways in the MAPA Region The network of streets, highways, and bridges represents the primary form of transportation in the MAPA TMA. From residential streets to interstate freeways, it is utilized daily by the vast majority of residents in the metro area to get from point A to point B. In recent decades, hundreds of millions of dollars have been spent to construct and maintain the system that exists today. Ensuring that the roadway system continues to be safe and provides a high-degree mobility for residents and businesses is critical to the region’s future. The MAPA LRTP provides the metro area with a roadmap for anticipated transportation improvements. While the 30-year planning timeframe inherently carries with it a high level of uncertainty, it is nonetheless important to periodically assess the region’s transportation system and evaluate long range plans and goals. Traffic levels have grown rapidly in recent decades in the MAPA region; however, traffic growth slowed for several years following the economic recession of 2008. Since that time traffic growth has slowly begun to increase as population and employment continue to increase. Recently, the COVID-19 pandemic and social distancing had significant impacts in reducing traffic on the region’s roadways for weeks. However, at this time it is unclear whether there will be long-term impacts of the precautions being taken to slow the spread of the virus as communities plan for reopening businesses, schools and other venues. In many communities throughout the region, the roadway system in the metro area has not kept pace with new, suburban growth.

  • United States Attorney's Office District of Nebraska 2018 Annual Report
    United States Attorney’s Office 2008 ANNUALDistrict REPORT of Nebraska 2018 Annual Report Joseph P. Kelly United States Attorney Welcome to the District of Nebraska Nebraska, is a state that lies in both the Great Plains and the Midwestern United States. It is the 16th largest state geographically, and became the 37th state to join the Union on March 1, 1867. Its 77,000 square miles encompass 93 counties, and a population more than 1.9 million people. As one of the 26 states with only one federal judicial district, Nebraska boasts a diverse and varied topography, geography, and economy. Nebraska is also unique in having the only state legislature that is a unicameral and non-partisan. Nebraska has more underground water reserves than any other state in the continental U.S. The name Nebraska is from an Oto Indian word that means "flat water" (referring to the Platte River, which means "flat river" in French). The Omaha and surrounding cities make up a population of more than 900,000 which accounts for a large majority of the District’s population. Lincoln, the state’s capital, is home to more than 280,000 residents. Much of the state is rural, with more than 90% of Nebraska’s cities and towns having fewer than 3,000 people. The state has a mixed economic base with substantial agricultural and agri-business sectors, as well as significant manufacturing, technical, and service sectors. More than 93% of Nebraska’s land is in production agriculture with approximately 46,000 farms and ranches. The state is a national leader in production of beef, pork, corn, and soy beans.

  • Judiciary Hearing September 12, 2008
    Transcript Prepared By the Clerk of the Legislature Transcriber's Office Judiciary Committee September 12, 2008 [LR390] SENATOR ASHFORD: I'd like to welcome everyone this morning and this is obviously a wonderful turnout. Can everybody hear me? I don't want to shout. I could shout, I suppose, but that would be...is this working? [LR390] ____________: Yes. [LR390] SENATOR ASHFORD: It is working. All right. This is a fabulous turnout, very difficult topic. But I can assure you that the Judiciary Committee and the Legislature is ready to take a hard look at the issue of youth violence throughout the state, particularly some of the violence we've experienced in our city in the last several years. And this is where we'll start at that process. My name is Brad Ashford. I'm Chairman of the Judiciary Committee. Before we get to Mayor Fahey, and thank you, Mayor, for coming today, I'd like to thank the team from CeaseFire-Chicago, and they will be speaking in a few minutes about their program which has a national reputation and I think it's worthy of taking a look at. I'd like to introduce my colleagues, first of all, and go down the line with them: Senator Dwite Pedersen from Elkhorn; and Senator Ernie Chambers from Omaha. This may be...well, it won't be the last hearing, Senator Chambers, certainly, but it's one of them. (Laugh) Yes. The Vice Chair of the Committee, Senator Steve Lathrop from Millard and Ralston and other areas and welcome, Senator Lathrop.

  • Program Evaluation 2012-2013 Market a Message from the President
    Program Evaluation 2012-2013 Market A Message from the President Dear Stakeholders and Friends: I am pleased to present our Partnership 4 Kids 2012-2013 Program Evaluation. This evaluation represents the final assessment of our original K-12 Partnership 4 Kids (P4K) program. Beginning with the 2013-2014 school year, P4K has redesigned its program to focus efforts on students in the critical K-9 grades. This new program includes formal partnerships with Avenue Scholars, College Possible and TeamMates, who will serve P4K students post ninth grade. With this newly designed program, our 2013-2014 program evaluation will include new measurements deemed critical based on findings in this document. Included in these new measures will is the SEI (Student Engagement Instrument) administered by the OPS Research Department, measuring cognitive and affective areas of engagement as indicators of school success. P4K has implemented the “Check and Connect” program, a research-based intervention for students, who score as “disengaged” on the SEI. Highlights from this 2012-2013 evaluation include: Seven (7) P4K elementary schools exceeded the OPS average growth in reading and/or math on 2013 NeSA test scores. (P4K reading and math goals are written toward learning gaps identified through the use of the OPS Acuity Predictive Test in grades 3 through 6.) 63% of P4K middle school students met or exceeded state standards on the 2013 NeSA reading test. This was above their school average in 5 of 6 middle schools served by P4K. 56% of P4K middle school students met or exceeded state standards on the 2013 NeSA math test.

Box 2164 Chesterfield, Virginia 23832 “When the prison doors are opened, the real dragon will fly out” Ho Chi Minh Revolutionary Greetings, Welcome to our National Jericho Movement Newsletter. Thank you to all of our members and affiliations who contribute critical information regarding our Political Prisoner's/Prisoner's of War as well as updates on activities, events and actions. Moving forward, we stand in fierce determination and solidarity to free our remaining Political Prisoner's and Prisoner's of War still languishing behind the dungeon walls. Much work has been done by Jericho and other organizations, and there is still much more work to do. With 20 years behind us and much work ahead, Jericho is growing and is taking on new projects and missions. Our shared vision is that we will reach a time in this country (and others) wherein there will be no more Political Prisoner's/Prisoner's of War. We envision the day when they all will walk free and into their families arms-who have been waiting for decades. We hope you join us in making this a reality. “Three classes of men will be cut-off from the benediction of heaven.
