BROADCAST TRANSCRIPT:
A long-awaited road improvement in North Omaha is officially taking its next step.
After years of gravel roads and limited access, neighbors in the area are one step closer to real change.
The Omaha City Council now plans to approve key contracts for the North Ridge Drive and Willit Street Intersection Project — a project I first reported on back in April.
The plan includes paving two gravel road segments, adding sidewalks, and improving pedestrian crossings — upgrades neighbors have waited on for years.
The city has officially opened the project for contractor bids, with more work expected to follow once crews are selected and in place.
