Good morning, this is Kansas City Local Pulse for Monday, January 13, 2025. We're starting off the week with a look at the aftermath of the significant snowstorm that hit our area over the weekend. The city's Snow Team has been working non-stop to clear roads and ensure safe travel. Crews began pre-treating roads on Friday and have been plowing and treating ice 24/7 since the storm arrived[1].

As a result of the storm, Monday and Tuesday trash and recycling collections have been canceled. However, residents will be allowed two extra bags without needing bag tags for the missed collection dates. The city is also operating remotely for non-essential services, with City Hall closed to the public on Monday and Tuesday[1].

In other news, the Kansas City area is still recovering from the historic snowfall, with crews ensuring safety after the record-breaking storm. The city continues to provide updates and resources for residents, including the myKCMO app for reporting snow and ice issues[5].

Moving on to the job market, there haven't been any major hiring announcements or new job postings from top local employers in the past few days. However, the city's efforts to support unhoused individuals during the winter storm have highlighted the need for more comprehensive housing policies, including the construction of a low-barrier shelter[2].

In real estate, there haven't been any notable commercial or residential property sales or new development projects announced recently. However, the city's zoning and development plans are available on the Compass KC website for residents to stay informed[1].

From City Hall, the Municipal Court building will be closed, with virtual hearings held on Monday and Tuesday. Residents can attend virtual hearings through the KCMO.gov/court website or use the virtual hearing QR code[1].

Weather-wise, the arctic air is settling in for Monday, with temperatures expected to remain low. The city's snow removal progress can be tracked online, and residents are advised to stay safe and avoid traveling unless necessary[3].

In new business activity, a Cuban family has opened a new coffee shop in Kansas City, Kansas, bringing a taste of Cuba to the heartland. The Martinez family fled their native Cuba in search of political freedom and are now sharing their culture with the community[3].

Upcoming community events include the rescheduled Walk-In Docket at the Municipal Court on Wednesday. Residents can also attend virtual committee meetings and legislative sessions through the KCMO.gov/clerk website[1].

In local school achievements, there haven't been any notable announcements in the past few days. However, the city's efforts to support students and families during the winter storm have been commendable.

In sports, the Kansas City Chiefs are gearing up for another Super Bowl push, having already clinched the AFC's top playoff spot[2].

In a feel-good community story, a Blue Springs Eagle Scout has created a flag drop box at Pink Hill Park, providing a place for residents to respectfully retire American flags[3].

Finally, in today's crime report, police have identified two men shot and killed in south Kansas City, Missouri, on Thursday. The investigation is ongoing, and residents are advised to stay safe and report any suspicious activity[3].

This has been Kansas City Local Pulse. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
