Good morning, this is Kansas City Local Pulse for Monday, January 13, 2025. We're starting the week with a focus on recovery efforts following the historic snowstorm that hit our city. Crews have been working non-stop to clear roads and ensure resident safety. The city's Snow Team has been plowing and treating roads 24/7, and while progress has been made, there are still areas that need attention[1][4].

In terms of daily life, trash and recycling collections have been impacted. Monday and Tuesday collections are canceled, but residents will be allowed two extra bags without needing bag tags for the missed route dates. This adjustment aims to help manage the backlog once collections resume[1][4].

Moving to the job market, Kansas City has shown resilience and growth. The labor force is expected to increase to approximately 1.2 million by 2025, with employment numbers reaching around 1.16 million. The unemployment rate is forecasted to stabilize at 3.1%, indicating a healthy market with room for improvement in matching job seekers with opportunities[2][5].

In real estate, there are no major updates on notable property sales or new development projects today. However, the city's focus on recovery from the snowstorm has temporarily shifted attention away from new construction and zoning changes.

From City Hall, non-essential city services operated remotely from Sunday through Tuesday due to the weather. City Hall reopened to the public on Wednesday, January 8, and all community centers are operating as normal, serving as warming shelters for those in need[1][4].

The weather continues to impact our activities. While crews are making progress, residents are advised to stay off the roads and report any snow and ice issues through the myKCMO app. The Kansas City International Airport is open, but travelers should check their flight status before leaving and allow ample time to travel and park[4].

In new business activity, there are no major openings or closings to report today. However, the city's efforts to support local businesses during the snowstorm have been commendable, with many restaurants and stores at the airport remaining open to assist passengers.

Looking ahead to community events, there are no major events scheduled for the next few days due to the weather conditions. However, the city's Cold Weather Shelters are operating as normal, and residents can visit Zero KC for more information.

In local sports, the Kansas City Chiefs have clinched the AFC's top playoff spot and are gearing up for another Super Bowl push[3].

For a feel-good community story, the city's "Snow Angels" program is continuing, where volunteers help those unable to clear their driveways and sidewalks. You can sign up to help today[4].

In today's crime report, there are no significant incidents or public safety alerts from the past 24 hours. The Kansas City Police Department remains operational for emergency responses, and the Kansas City Fire Department is responding normally to all calls for service[4].

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