The city's downtown corridors project focuses on Ninth, 10th, 11th, O and P streets and is intended to make those downtown corridors more attractive, safe and vibrant by focusing on the sidewalk areas, adding landscaping, outdoor furniture and improving crosswalks, creating a music district and a better sense of place. Shown here is the proposed 14th Street music district.
Downtown Lincoln is getting a facelift, some work done on its main appendages to encourage people to linger along America’s longest main street, to promote the local music scene and buffer busy arterials.
The concept for the Downtown Corridors project began six years ago, when a 2018 master plan for the downtown area included recommendations for streetscape improvements, said city planner Collin Christopher.
That was refined during the master plan process in 2022, and the city held two open houses for the public to weigh in.
Last year, planners really got to work on what they wanted to accomplish, refined the plans and recently offered the public a closer look at what they envision for four of downtown’s major corridors, including creating the long-discussed music district on 14th Street. The areas targeted by the project include:
People are also reading…
* Ninth and 10th streets between K and S streets;
* 11th Street between N and Q streets;
* 14th Street between O and P streets;
* O Street between Ninth Street and Centennial Mall.
P Street isn’t specifically part of the Downtown Corridors project, but city officials want to finish upgrading the area between Ninth and 11th Street, including allowing two-way traffic between Ninth and 10th streets.
The goal of the project is to make the downtown corridors — most busy arterials — safer, more attractive and places where people want to spend time, not just move through to get to another destination. To see more detailed plans, go to .

The city's downtown corridors project focuses on Ninth, 10th, 11th, O and P streets and is intended to make those downtown corridors more attractive, safe and vibrant by focusing on the sidewalk areas, adding landscaping, outdoor furniture and improving crosswalks, creating a music district and a better sense of place. Shown here is O Street between 12th and 13th street.
There are challenges, but city officials believe they can use landscaping, lighting, signs, outdoor furniture, wider walkways and shorter and safer street crossings to create a buffer from busy traffic and make the streetscapes more appealing to residents.
They want to better connect downtown to bike trails and create spaces for pop-up boutiques, artists, street vendors and food trucks.
Mark Bauer and Antje Anderson walked through the all-day open house on June 27 at Union Bank at 13th and O streets because they wanted to see what the city had planned — and how officials planned to pay for it.
“We live downtown and are vested in how it looks and who funds it,†Bauer said.
Bauer said he was happy to hear there wouldn’t be any downtown fees assessed to residents to help pay for the improvements.
The city plans to pay for the first $15 million to $18 million in improvements, which are slated to begin in early 2025, through several funding sources, including tax-increment financing from a so-called TIF district city officials created in the downtown area. In such districts the city can use the increase in the assessed value of the properties in the district to pay for improvements.
The city also plans to use federal American Rescue Plan Act dollars, a $4 million grant from U.S. Housing and Urban Development, and two state grants totaling over $2 million the Downtown Lincoln Association received, Christopher said.
Bauer and Anderson, longtime downtown residents, said they liked the additional green spaces proposed and hope some of the work can quiet traffic on the busy streets, though they know the city is limited in what it can do because O Street is a state highway.
That state highway — from Ninth Street to Centennial Mall — and the music district on 14th Street from O to P streets will be the city’s first priority, Christopher said.
Rethinking Lincoln's main street
When he thinks about the changes along O Street, Christopher harkens back to the days when it was lined with big department stores and was a hub of activity.
“Historically, it truly was a main street for our community,†he said. “Today it operates more like a state highway."
City officials can’t change the state highway part, but they can use shorter street crossings, landscaping and benches to buffer traffic effects along what was once known as the country’s longest main street.

The city's downtown corridors project focuses on Ninth, 10th, 11th, O and P streets and is intended to make those downtown corridors more attractive, safe and vibrant. Shown here are proposed changes on O Street near Old City Hall.
They plan to add a center median at 10th and O streets running east for a portion of the block, and to better focus on Old City Hall at Ninth and O streets by expanding the green space around the building and repurposing the stone walls around the building to make the entryway more inviting.
Because many of the trees along downtown streets are ash invaded by the emerald ash borer they’ll have to be removed and the city will replace them with a more diverse variety of trees.
Because new trees will take time to grow and offer shade, the city plans to add physical shade structures like trellises that would have outdoor seating under them, Christopher said.

Shown here is a proposed look for O Street near Centennial Mall.
Another key element to O Street is adding more flexibility for outdoor dining, Christopher said.
Now, outdoor cafes have to be attached to the restaurant. The idea for the Downtown Corridors project would be to allow restaurants to put the outdoor cafes farther away from the building and incorporate them into shaded and landscaped areas to create a more pleasing outdoor environment, he said.
City officials are also considering exchanging the two-hour parking meters along O Street for short-term parking, creating drop-off and pick-up spots to better serve businesses and create higher turnover.
The city wants to do a pilot project for the so-called "dynamic parking" that would involve monitoring current parking practices from 13th Street to Centennial Mall for three months, then monitoring three months of short-term parking to see how it works, then asking businesses for feedback.

The city's downtown corridors project focuses on Ninth, 10th, 11th, O and P streets and is intended to make those downtown corridors more attractive, safe and vibrant by focusing on the sidewalk areas, adding landscaping, outdoor furniture and improving crosswalks, creating a music district and a better sense of place. Shown here is the 14th Street music district.
Creating the music district on 14th Street would include two-way traffic on that block, adding parallel parking spaces on both sides of the street and expanding the walkways, adding landscaping and outdoor cafes, decorative lighting and signs.
“We want to make the streetscape itself as accommodating as possible for spillover from music venues to the public realm,†Christopher said.
The area would be designed to more easily close it for music festivals such as Zoo Fest, speakers would be added along the corridor as would event power provisions.

Shown here is the 14th Street music district.
Just as importantly, he said, they want to make the area amenable to other programming such as smaller performances or First Friday events, sidewalk sales for businesses or artist displays. To accommodate that, the area would have movable outdoor furniture, rather than pieces mounted into the ground.
“Anything we can do to give those businesses and venues a chance to succeed.â€

Shown here is the 11th Street greenway.
The first phase of the project could include other areas as well, depending on how far the financing goes, Christopher said, and some of the improvements on Ninth and 10th Street will be coordinated with ongoing projects.
One of the areas Christopher said he’s most excited about is 11th Street, where city planners want to create a greenway by expanding and landscaping the pedestrian space on the west side of the street, adding a kiosk for local businesses, recreation space and outdoor cafes.
A portion of 11th Street north of O Street would become a two-way street, and a sidewalk bike path that’s separate from a pedestrian area would connect the university to the south of downtown neighborhood, he said.
“It’s kind of a unique amenity we don’t have anywhere in Lincoln,†he said.
