Papillion Plan

Welcome to Papillion's MindMixer. Think of this site as an online town hall meeting. We're looking for practical and resourceful ideas about improving our community.

»A water feature would be better suited in City Park where it would be further from city streets.
»I agree with the idea of trying to attract corporations that have a workforce centered around the 8-to-5 work day. The technology companies and defense contractors that serve Offutt AFB are a good place to start.
»I was wondering instead of widening the bridge, would it be feasible to just add another walk over bridge further down the papio from the water park into washington park.
»I don't associate "family fun" with "wine", but the dinner theater or icecream shop sounds great!
»As our city looks at creating a retail/dining experience in our downtown setting, it's important we make it pedestrian friendly. I agree that one crossing on first street probably isn't enough. It would be nice to have a cross walk closer to the library. Not only will this be helpful for the business district, it will also offer a safer area for students and adults to cross 84th St, rather than trying to run across and beat the cars.
»I don't think that raised crosswalks are necessary, but it would be nice to install dedicated crosswalk lights at 2nd Street (between D-Rocks and Runza). Having only one light at 1st street makes it difficult to cross by the library and other shops farther north.
»This is exactly what we are hoping for. My comment under the downtown incentive section supports the benefits of bringing more retail shops, restaurants, galleries & livly businesses that will create a wonderful venue for the city of Papillion. I totally agree it would be so nice to see people gather and families able to enjoy their evenings right her in Papillion.
»I totally agree. Anything the city can do to show new or existing businesses that they have confidence Papillion will offer them a great business opportunity,is a plus. Many different retail spaces have incentives in place to lure businesses to there area. What Papillion has, that these other locations are lacking, is the hometown feel. The Downtown section has so much potential to become a true retail destination, simular to the Old Market feel. With the addition of more retail shops, restaurants, galleries, etc,it could really turn into a fabulous location to frequent. I truly believe the residents of Papillion would enjoy and support this venture, rather that driving into Omaha or surrounding areas to dine or shop. I would love to see the city be able to gain new businesses by investing in this vision. it would be a win-win for everyone. Bringing new jobs, new businesses, financial gains, as well as people from surroundig communities coming to Papillion to shop, relax and enjoy!
»Hopefully something besides another Walmart store......
»I am all for getting new businesses and restaurants in the downtown area, however, I don't want the incentives to bring these businesses to include raising taxes or the tax payers footing the tax bill for these businesses for some period of time. One way to grow the downtown is to support the businesses that are there and more will come.
»The only concern I have with this idea is the parking situation. Will this water feature take up precious parking for the downtown businesses?
»This would be great especially around papio days.
»I agree. Maybe a small dinner theater or ice cream shop that stays open later.
»A lot of cities use the combination containers with trash on one side and recyclables on the other. Great idea!
»Not sure how possible this would be because it would be difficult to widen the street but I do like the idea.

    A Papillion City Trolley would be great for the Papillion community.
    A Papillion Trolley would be an easy way to travel to the ballfield, shopping, restaurants,etc.where parking is limited. Have a couple drinks and cannot drive - the trolley could be the designated driver.
    A Papillion Trolley would decrease gas comsumption and be EPA friendly along with saving money on gas.
    A Papillion Trolley would be a fun innovated way to make $$ money for Papillion and the community to invest in where they live.
