You can see one of those in the photo to the right. Reflective 3M tape was used on the overlay project because it can be easily installed on hot asphalt. Remember in Part 1 where the crew rolled glue onto the pavement before applying the adhesive-backed tape? During an asphalt overlay project, the adhesive-backed tape is laid directly down on the hot asphalt, without the application of glue, for a quick adhering and durable product. An extra layer of glue is unnecessary on these projects because it would likely just evaporate from the heat of the asphalt anyway. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62940ba0ea12912d16db96d9/3072fe67-d3c4-48b2-887f-337396aa3831/Screenshot+2024-06-28+at+9.38.29%E2%80%AFAM+%281%29.jpg BLOG - Spraying the Paint, a Morning with the Crosswalk Crew (Part 2) You’ll also notice in the screenshot of the map to the left that there are two categories of crosswalks: pedestrian crosswalks and school crossings. One of the reasons for the differentiation is scheduling. School crossings have a more restricted time window for installation, i.e. when school is not in session, than pedestrian crossings do. The school crossings are color-coded separately from other public pedestrian crossings so they can be easily scheduled for the summer months. Since the 153rd & Monroe intersection was within one block of an elementary school, it would be designated as a “school crossing.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62940ba0ea12912d16db96d9/78557da5-e27f-4357-a9c3-fb6b5b1990fa/IMG_9737.jpg BLOG - Spraying the Paint, a Morning with the Crosswalk Crew (Part 2) Here’s a detail photo of the reflective glass beads! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62940ba0ea12912d16db96d9/4a4da6a1-5748-411a-8cf7-da3d8206d2b6/IMG_9742.jpg BLOG - Spraying the Paint, a Morning with the Crosswalk Crew (Part 2) On the morning of 28 June 2024, I joined - from left to right - John Bera (Semi-Skilled Laborer), Jeff Riesselman (City Traffic Engineer), John Pollreis (City Traffic Maintenance Foreman II), and Monte Penry (Semi-Skilled Laborer) to watch as a crosswalk was painted.

Our mission is to make Omaha’s streets safe for ALL users, including drivers, passengers, motorcyclists, pedestrians, vulnerable users, and cyclists, through education, advocacy, projects, and collaboration with local governments and agencies. Our Story We launched SOS in 2022, following years of witnessing the unsafe driving conditions in Omaha. As we evolve, we plan to transition into a Think (& Do) Tank that generates ideas and influences public policy. In the past three years, we have worked to improve our streets through 1) Education: We distribute informative newsletters to a diverse mailing list, write unbiased blog posts, provide information to local news outlets, and deliver presentations to community groups and college classes. 2) Public Service: SOS served on the Omaha Vision Zero Technical Advisory Committee and the Metropolitan Area Planning Agency (MAPA) Safe Streets for All (SS4A) Committee. 3) Advocacy: SOS provides advocacy on transportation-related issues at the local level, by providing testimony at Omaha City Council meetings, and at the State Level by submitting formal comment. 4) Projects: SOS conducted a comprehensive Road Safety Audit for 72nd Street and developed an RSA template for other organizations to use. 5) Collaboration: SOS has a solid and trusted relationship with local officials (including City Council members) and City staff. https://www.safeomahastreets.com/resources daily 0.75 2025-06-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62940ba0ea12912d16db96d9/d313367e-cca2-4f31-bcc8-2df1ef874b29/SOS-small.png RESOURCES -
