Hi, this is OmahaNebraska.com here with…
Mayor John Ewing.
This Baby Bob Bridge is pretty exciting on the connection. Can you tell us a little bit more about it?
Yeah, sure. I think it’s a critical piece of our infrastructure.
What it allows us to do is have the ability to connect to the trails that are in this area, the trails that are in Council Bluffs, and also connect the two cities.
One of the things I’m working diligently on is building a metro area economic development plan.
And these type of things, these type of relationships allow us to be able to build that trust. And when you have trust, then you can work faster and more effectively. And so this is just one example of being able to do that when we can build a bridge to each other’s cities.
What would you like to tell the people on the Iowa side to come see?
Well, I would love for them to come on over and check out the College World Series or other events we might have. At Charles Schwab Field, we have the CHI Center directly across the street from the bridge.
We would love for them to come over and frequent events there.
Also we have the Hilton Hotel, very close by, that if they want to just do a staycation and just take a few days away, come on over, enjoy Omaha and be able to enjoy the amenities that we have like the Old Market, the Zoo and other things like that.
And let’s build a partnership.
Thank you.
Thank you.
