Tucson Local Pulse: April 9th - Safety Concerns, Sunny Skies, and Weekend Events
Published 2 weeks, 3 days ago
Description
Good morning, this is Tucson Local Pulse for Thursday, April 9th. We start with a somber note from our streets. Tucson police report a 36-year-old man, Joe Frank Trujillo, was fatally struck Tuesday afternoon while jaywalking across South Alvernon Way near East 29th Street on our southeast side. He crossed about 90 feet from a marked crosswalk and later died at the hospital. The driver of the Dodge Grand Caravan was unhurt, no citations yet, and the investigation continues. We urge everyone to use crosswalks for safety.
Shifting to brighter skies, we have sunny conditions today with highs pushing into the low 90s, about 6 to 10 degrees above normal, according to KGUN forecasts. Light northwest winds up to 20 miles per hour this afternoon could stir some dust, so plan outdoor activities early. Expect more warming through Friday before a system brings gusty southwest winds and a 15 to 30 percent chance of showers over the weekend.
City Hall updates include council approval this week for expanded bike lanes along Speedway Boulevard, making commutes safer and greener for us daily. On the job front, listings show around 5,000 openings citywide, up 10 percent from last month, especially in healthcare and tech near the University of Arizona.
Real estate heats up too, with median home prices holding steady near 350,000 dollars, and about 200 new listings popping up downtown. New business buzz: a trendy coffee spot just opened at Monterey Court on West Miracle Mile, tying into tonight's TKMA Festival kickoff show from 6 to 9:30 pm, promising live music vibes.
Music lovers, tonight's lineup sparkles. Catch Sierra Hull's bluegrass mastery at 7:30 pm at the Fox Theatre on West Congress, or Noga Erez at 8 pm at the Rialto Theatre. Salpointe Catholic High School celebrated a big win yesterday, their baseball team sweeping rivals 5 to 2.
For a feel-good lift, community volunteers planted over 50 trees at Reid Park yesterday, shading our summer trails. Looking ahead, Anita plays at 7 pm tomorrow at TCC Leo Rich Theatre.
