Future Projects


What do you think should be on our neighborhood's wish list? Our neighborhood has taken on many projects over the years that you can see and appreciate today. All of the examples below have something in common; neighbors coming together to get the job done. We would like to invite your ideas. A great starting point for getting your idea on the neighborhood association's agenda is to come to one of our meetings and speak about it.

Past and Present Projects

World War I Memorial

John McKean, a former MPML Treasurer and neighbor, had a vision for the World War I memorial. John wanted the flagpole painted, a new flag flying high and proud with appropriate lighting installed. His vision was specific; it had to be done on Flag Day. We talked about it at neighborhood association meetings and then Omaha Mayor, Jim Suttle, was able obtain a brand new flag, courtesy of Woodmen of the World. Neighbors got together on Flag Day to paint the pole, install lighting, and raise the new flag. It all came together beautifully with John McKean heading up the project. Volunteers continue to maintain the monument today. Thank you to everyone who helped John's vision come to fruition.  

Historic District Signs

Installed in 2015 to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Minne Lusa, these signs proudly celebrate our neighborhood’s rich history and vibrant community spirit. Positioned along Minne Lusa Boulevard, they honor the legacy of one of Omaha’s most treasured neighborhoods and offer a warm welcome to all who pass through.

The Minne Lusa Residential Historic District was officially designated as a federal historic district in 2014—recognizing its architectural charm, strong sense of community, and lasting significance in the city’s history.

Park Benches in the Neighborhood

Several park benches have been installed around the neighborhood in public areas such as the islands on Minne Lusa Boulevard. Money for these benches comes from private donations and neighborhood fundraising efforts such as the annual Golf Scramble at Miller Park.

Neighborhood members volunteered their time, labor, and expertise to install these fixtures, helping to make our streets a place where anyone can come to enjoy a beautiful day.
