Small business owners near Omaha's streetcar construction line are voicing concerns about their survival as the project continues to impact foot traffic and accessibility to their establishments.

At Mayor John Ewing's town hall last week, several business owners along the streetcar route expressed worries about their businesses' future. The concerns extend beyond those directly on the construction line to nearby establishments feeling the economic impact.

"My business is dying," said one business owner.

The owners of Nodest Plants and Antidote, located on Harvey and Farnam directly on the streetcar line, are among those facing significant challenges.

"I think that a lot of small businesses are feeling like collateral damage at this point," Wag owner Eryn Swan said.
