St. John's Parish

Starting Monday, December 15, Cordia Energy will be performing maintenance work on their utility lines at the northwest portion of the 24th Street/Cass Street roundabout. The work is estimated to take approximately two weeks, depending on weather conditions.

During this time, vehicular traffic coming from Burt and Cuming streets can use the southbound lane of 24th Street to access the parking garage, the drive to Conagra Plaza, and turn around to head back north. When exiting the parking garage, only right turns are permitted to head north to Burt and Cuming streets. See Map 1.

Traffic coming from Davenport and Dodge streets and other points south can use the roundabout to go east on Cass Street or continue south on 24th Street to access the parking garage and proceed to Burt and Cuming streets. Traffic coming from the east on Cass Street can only use the roundabout to turn right (north) onto 24th Street. Traffic coming from the west along the service drive/peripheral road (N 27th Plaza) can use the roundabout to go all directions except make a full 180 degree U-turn. See Map 2.

No sidewalks, crosswalks, or bike paths are expected to be impacted by the project.

The Giving Tree

We have also found that donations of toys and gifts for children and teens have exceeded expectations and that is gratifying With all of this in mind, our focus is to ask for your generous support in any of the following ways:Non-perishable food items for the San Andres pantry (4440 So. 25th Street)Cash donations to support temporary housing through Omaha Welcomes the Stranger, Gift cards to Walmart for family needs.
