In 1912 the City of Omaha spent almost $4,000 on expenses related to the finishing of this roadway, named in honor of Omaha philanthropist John A. Creighton.[2] In recent years it has recently been the target of historic road preservationists intent on keeping the H.W.S. Cleveland-inspired design intact.[3] Plans for the boulevard include upgrading the roadway, adding roundabouts and reconnecting the boulevard with its historic connecting streets.[4] [5][6]
