Did you see the news coverage regarding the renovation of the Dundee Subway?
Yes, Dundee does have a subway (also known as a pedestrian tunnel). The subway was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2010. It is the last remaining pedestrian tunnel in Omaha.
The primary reason for the subway was to provide a safe way for school children to cross Dodge Street.
As the tunnel reaches 80 years old, it is in need of renovation. The project, led by the Dundee Memorial Park Association, will do the following:
· Install brighter, longer lasting, energy efficient LED lighting
· Install new historic signage
· Install skid-resistant coating on the ramps
· Make minor concrete and masonry repairs
· Install a mural designed by Dundee School students inside the tunnel
Leo A. Daly Co. has generously provided in-kind design work to get the project started. The City of Omaha has committed $1,000 from a federal anti-graffiti grant for the mural.
The overall project is estimated to cost $30,000.
This is where we NEED your financial support. Dundee-Memorial Park has always been willing to come together to financially support projects that better our neighborhood like the flower baskets, the Dundee Clock and the Streetcar Monument.
