Standing water has been caused by standing water in Blackstone streets near the hole in front of Brothers Lounge, where a wall collapsed earlier this year. The city of Omaha has assured that the area surrounding the hole is stable, but some residents are seeking assurances. The standing water is near the spot where road work was completed. The City of Omaha stated that they believe the neighboring properties in Farnam Street are safe and stable.

The release of the brand and design of the streetcar was delayed due to these concerns.
