Dodge Street
Dodge Street is the main east–west street in Omaha, Nebraska. Numbered as U.S. Route 6 (US 6), the street starts in Downtown Omaha and connects to West Dodge Road around 78th Street. From there, it continues westward through the remainder of Douglas County.
==About==
Dodge Street was named for influential Iowa Senator Augustus C. Dodge. Dodge was a strong supporter of westward expansion beyond the Missouri River to the Pacific Ocean who originally introduced the bill which led to the Kansas-Nebraska Act. Sources frequently erroneously list the street's namesake as Grenville Dodge, the chief engineer for the Union Pacific Railroad.〔("Street Names 4" ), Douglas County Historical Society. Retrieved 3/29/08.〕 Six miles of Dodge were paved with macadam in June 1894;〔(1894) ''Paving and Municipal Engineering. Version 7.'' Municipal Engineering Company. p. 292.〕 however, by 1917 citizens were circulating a petition for the road to be graded.〔League of American Wheelmen. (1917) ''(Good Roads. 4(52) )''. S. Elliott Publishers. p. 22.〕
Dodge Street serves as the dividing point between North and South street addresses in Omaha. The street features reversible lanes from 30th Street to 69th Street to accommodate commuter traffic in and out of downtown. From the late 1950s through the late 1980s Dodge Street from 60th through 80th Streets was the main strip for cruising in Omaha. The City of Omaha ended this practice in the early 1990s, when it enacted a law prohibiting U-turns from 8pm to midnight.
