Good morning, this is Kansas City Local Pulse for Tuesday, April 1, 2025.
We've got a packed show for you today, starting with some exciting news from city hall. The Kansas City Council has just approved a major expansion of the city's public transit system. Construction on new bus rapid transit lines is set to begin next month, promising faster commutes for thousands of residents.
Speaking of commutes, if you're heading out this morning, be prepared for a wet one. We're looking at thunderstorms moving into the area, with a high of 65 degrees. Don't forget your umbrella, folks!
In business news, Buc-ee's has announced plans to build its first Kansas Travel Center near the Kansas Speedway. This Texas-based chain is known for its massive convenience stores and clean restrooms, so road trippers rejoice!
Job seekers, listen up. The city is hosting a career fair today at Bartle Hall from 3 to 6 PM. They're specifically looking to hire former federal workers, so if that's you, be sure to stop by. The tech sector is also booming, with over 110,000 new jobs expected in the coming years.
On the real estate front, housing starts are finally rebounding from recent lows, but supply remains tight. If you're in the market, be prepared to act fast.
Turning to sports, the Royals are kicking off their season today against the Milwaukee Brewers at American Family Field. Michael Lorenzen will be taking the mound for KC. First pitch is at 7:40 PM, so there's still time to grab some tickets if you're feeling spontaneous.
In community news, The Sewing Labs is hosting their annual Needle & Thread Gala tonight. It's a great chance to hear inspiring stories from students and support local craftsmanship.
On a somber note, we're sad to report a fatal single-vehicle crash near 43rd and Broadway yesterday. Our thoughts are with the victim's family.
But let's end on a positive note. The Salina Fire Department has just installed the second Safe Haven Baby Box in Kansas at its station. These boxes provide a safe, legal option for mothers in crisis to surrender their newborns, potentially saving lives.
This has been Kansas City Local Pulse. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
