Papio-Missouri River NRD
“Flanagan Lake is vital to the Omaha metro area for
many reasons. The flood control reservoir is designed to
protect the lives and property of Omaha citizens from
floods, as well as billions of dollars in public and private
infrastructure, and homes and businesses. Flanagan
Lake also offers much-needed recreation opportunities,
wildlife habitat, and continues to spur economic growth.
Projects this size require the work of many people,
including community partners and a dedicated design
team. HDR, Inc. and its team of experts was able to
balance designing the flood control project to the
highest public safety standards and provide maximum
secondary benefits to surrounding communities.”
- John Winkler, General Manager of the P-MRNRD

Dundee Elementary School
This project was initiated by faculty and parents from Dundee Elementary who
wanted to address multiple stormwater runoff issues through the creation of an
outdoor classroom. The goal for the outdoor classroom was to help teach faculty,
students, and parents the value of managing water in a sustainable manner through
the use of green infrastructure principles and practices.

City of Norfolk
As traffic increased through downtown Norfolk, Norfolk Avenue needed
multiple improvements, including the replacement of a failing bridge
and widening the road to improve traffic flow. The City of Norfolk selected
Olsson Associates (Olsson) to make these drastic improvements.
As we got more involved in the preliminary stages of the project, we realized
the city also had an opportunity to revitalize the east end of
downtown Norfolk by extending a bike trail, improving lighting, and
beautifying the area. The city gave us the go ahead, and we got started.

connect in many ways.”
