Omaha Building Collapse Disrupts Streetcar Plans | Omaha News

Omaha’s streetcar project hit a snag when a foundation collapse at 3810 Farnam Street blocked sidewalks and delayed progress. The city is stepping in, using streetcar funds to either repair or demolish the old Brother’s Lounge building while investigating the cause and responsibility. Construction firm Kiewit blames inconsistent tarp handling by others and points fingers back at the city for directing work. Nearby businesses like Jay’s Games and Beer Garden have endured months of disruptions since opening last November, but remain optimistic for the school year rush. City officials are working with the owner to secure the site and clear sidewalks, with repair estimates and property appraisals underway — all while liability remains unresolved.
