Good morning, Lincoln.

City officials led by Mayor Gaylor Baird updated on Project O Street, a downtown project to improve roads, sidewalks, lighting, and landscaping along O Street from Ninth to 16th streets that is set to begin in late fall.

The project — planned in three phases to keep access open during work — will use funds from water, street, and transportation budgets to help local businesses and residents.

Nebraska filed a lawsuit Tuesday against General Motors, accusing the automaker of installing tracking systems in vehicles since at least 2015 and unlawfully selling customer data collected through OnStar and mobile apps.

Attorney General Mike Hilgers said the suit seeks $2,000 per violation and restitution for affected Nebraskans — a measure to hold GM accountable for deceptive practices.

The Cornhusker State Games—now in its 41st year—will kick off tomorrow in Lincoln with a free opening ceremony at Pinnacle Bank Arena where former Husker volleyball coach Dani Busboom Kelly will light the torch, and over 7,000 athletes are set to compete in 76 sports across the state over a two-weekend period.
