In March 2021, Omaha Public Power District installed black iron ornamental streetlights with acorn fixtures on Bancroft Street in Omaha from 13th Street to 1st Street. The streetlights illuminate the street as well as the sidewalk. This is a significant step in developing the street aesthetic connecting historic parts of Omaha near the Missouri River. The lights add to the infrastructure in an area with a complete sidewalk system. They add visual appeal to an area that includes Omaha’s most important visitor attractions, such as Lauritzen Gardens and The Old Market.
