North 84th St, Nebraska

Lincoln has been growing astonishingly fast over the last several years. One of the streets that has gone from nothing to be a major road for the city is North 84th St. Within the last five years, this street has increased in traffic flow, and access to the city.

It wasn't all that long ago when I was traveling to Lincoln and I was use a road that was just short of a country road, to make good time to get to O st. Now, this street is a major connector for the east end of the city.

North 84th st, is the first major turn off from the highway to get into the city. As you reach the first gas station on the edge of town, that's where you jump onto north 84th st. Over the last couple of years, a multitude of housing developments have grown on both sides of the road. There are several cross streets which you can pull off into town. If you turn to the left, you will head into housing complexes, if you turn right you head into town, via some of the many busy streets.

Companies have taken notice of the amazing growth, and have started popping up along the road. There is a convention/exhibition center, a new Walmart, Walgreens, grocery stores, auto dealerships and several new restaurants. It looks like some of the farms are putting their land up for sale in hopes to cash in on the amazing growth, so there will be many more popping up.

I have only taken this road as far as O St. O has always been thriving, and is easy to spot. It is the point where the traffic and consumerism is the greatest. If you are coming from the east, and have to get to O st quickly (and are not wanting to go all the way downtown), this is the best exit to use.
