Haymarket district
to get improvements
By Lisa Richardson
Staff Reporter
More than SI million in improve
ments are proposed for Lincoln’s
Haymarket district.
The Lincoln Haymarket Develop
ment Corporation unveiled its plans
at a meeting Tuesday night. Proposed
improvements include repaving 8lh
Street from R to O streets, and chang
ing P and Q streets to 2-way traffic
west of 9lh Street.
Improvements such as ornamental
streetlights, brick kiosks, sidewalk
nodes, and bike racks arc also
planned.
Sidewalk nodes arecircularexten
sions of the sidewalk at comers, de
signed to slow traffic and for pedestri
ans convenience, said John Sinclair,
chairman of the design committee for
the Haymarket Group. The kiosks
will be decorative brick and lime
slone structures tnat win noia
benches and planters.
Placing the kiosks on the nodes
will provide gateways to the district,
he said.
Reconstuction of water mains and
storm sewers in the district is under
way, Sinclair said. The city is paying
the cost, estimated at $287,000.
The 8th Street reconstruction is
expected to cost $500,000, according
to information provided at the meet
ing. The various streetscape improve
ments arc priced at $350,000.
Streetscape costs will be split
equally between the city and properly
owners whose buildings face the
improved streets.
Exact details of the plan must be
approved by 51 percent of the prop
erty owners, Sinclair said.
He said he hopes the improve
ments can begin May 1989.
Warehouse, retail and office own
ers will benefit from the improvement
projects, said Dan Cornejo, coordina
tor for Lincoln’s economic develop
ment division.
Although some warehouse owners
oppose the improvements, others
support them, he said. All projierty in
the district will increase in value
because of the project, he said.
Lou Shields, a Haymarket prop
erty owner who co-owns the Sample
Outlet, said she feels the improve
ment plan is needed.
“The city is ready, and Haymarket
is ready,” Shields said. “We are fortu
nate to have the city ’s support for this
project.”
As far as out-of-town invest
ment, Arter said, there is a “mys
tique attached with investors from
out of town.”
Some Lincoln companies sim
ply aren’t equipped to handle the
projected sizcof the redevelopment
project, he said.
“We don’t have the connections
with major department stores,” he
said.
Taubman had all the connec
tions with the major investors, Artcr
said. “You won’t find bettercrcden
tials anywhere,” he said.

Extension requested
for grant deadline
By Dan Dwinel)
Staff Reporter
Lincoln’s request to extend the
deadline for an Urban Development
Action grant is common, said Jack
Flynn, public affairs officer for the
Department of Housing and Urban
Development.
“It’s not a totally unusual thing,”
he said.
The grant, awarded to the city of
Lincoln in July 1986 for downtown
redevelopment, has a March 9 dead
line for a lease agreement and verifi
cation of the financing.
Flynn said problems often occur
in development.
Although Flynn wouldn’t predict
, what Lincoln’s chances arc for an
extension, he said it is normal to
award them.
“There’s no way to guarantee an
extension,” he said. “We do fre
quently grant extensions. The pur
pose of the grant is to improve, not
just to meet deadlines.”
Nebraska congressmen in Wash
ington arc working to extend the
deadline for a S6.5 million Urban
Development Action Grant.
Sen. J.J. Exon announced he has
written a letter to Samuel Pierce, the
secretary of housing and urban devel
opment, urging for an extension.
In the letter to Pierce, Exon said he
asked for the extension “to provide
the city with enough time to secure a
replacement developer. They will
need several months.
“This is an important project for
Lincoln and for Nebraska and it
would be very disappointing to have
our federal government assist unnec
essarily in its demise,1' Exon wrote.
“The redevelopment of the down
town area is an important aspect of
Lincoln’s attempts to withstand the
negative effects of our lagging farm
economy,” Exon wrote.
Lincoln was forced to find a new
developer when the city and Taub
man Co. Inc. of Kansas City, Mo.,
parted ways last week.
Carol Lawrence, press secretary
to Rep. Doug Bereuter, said Bereuter
will also work for an extension.
Lawrence said Bereuter will talk
with Pierce as well.
Other Nebraska congressmen
could not be reached for comment.
