Omaha Local Pulse: Crosswalk Updates, Utility Bills, Job Openings, and Community Cheer
Published 4 months, 1 week ago
Description
Good morning, this is Omaha Local Pulse for Saturday, December 20. We kick off with breaking news from City Hall, where North Omaha Council member LaVonya Goodwin is pushing a new initiative to improve street safety around 30th and Ames after recent resident concerns. This could mean fresh crosswalks and lighting upgrades by spring, directly easing our daily commutes. On the financial front, S and P Global reports Omaha Public Power Districts Nebraska City 2 revenue bond rating dropped to A yesterday, which might nudge utility bills up a bit, so we keep an eye on that for household impacts.
Shifting to our economy, job seekers, Molina Healthcare just posted openings for telephonic care manager RNs right here in Omaha, paying around 24 to 51 dollars an hour with local travel. Perfect for nurses wanting flexible work from home base. Real estate stays steady, with about 1,200 homes listed downtown to West Omaha, median prices hovering near 285,000, great for first-time buyers eyeing spots near CHI Health Center.
New business buzz: Creighton dentistry alumna Teryn Sedillo opened Dignity Dental on Leavenworth Street, specializing in care for patients with special needs. Were thrilled to welcome this compassionate addition serving our communitys unique smiles.
Weather today brings partly cloudy skies with highs near 35 degrees and light winds, ideal for outdoor errands but bundle up for evening chill. No major impacts on events, though that short outlook warns of possible flurries tomorrow.
Sports fans, our Omaha Mavericks hockey team fought hard but fell 7-4 to Augustana last night in Sioux Falls. Tonight at 7:30, Creighton Bluejays host Marquette at CHI Health Center, tipoff promises fireworks with Chase Ross leading the Golden Eagles at 17 points per game. Local schools shine too, with Burke Highs girls basketball winning their holiday tourney 55-48.
Community events ahead: Holiday market at Slowdown tomorrow from noon, and First National Christmas tree lighting echoes with free carols at Heartland of America Park through Sunday.
Crime report from the past day stays calm, with Omaha Police noting just a minor theft arrest near 72nd and Cass, no public safety alerts.
For a feel-good lift, listeners shared stories of neighbors shoveling walks for seniors on Woolworth Avenue, pure Omaha spirit.
