概要

 Good morning, this is Charlotte Local Pulse for Friday, February 6. We kick off with a huge thank you to Team Charlotte, our city workers who battled back-to-back winter storms last weekend, clearing over 13,000 miles of roads from Uptown to the Bobcats stadium with nearly 100,000 gallons of salt brine. Charlotte Water fixed 26 emergencies around Irwin Creek, even rescuing a kids snowball maker from a catch basin near a worksite. CDOT handled 200 requests non-stop, while Charlotte Fire ran 1,124 calls, including six working fires and 52 wrecks. CMPD managed under 500 traffic incidents, and Animal Care and Control saved Mickey and Minnie from the cold, plus sheltered 90 pets. Delays hit garbage pickup citywide, so keep carts out until collected, and report icy spots to 311.

That snow blanketed us with nearly a foot, the most since 2004, snarling I-85 north of town with over 100 vehicles stuck. Todays chill lingers around freezing with possible flurries, so drive carefully on treated streets like those near Charlotte Douglas Airport, where the 300-member snow team kept runways clear. Expect a drier, sunnier outlook by afternoon, easing outdoor plans.

City Hall updates include a pedestrian skybridge install over the Blue Line between Sugar Creek and Old Concord stations starting Sunday, boosting safe walks for commuters. Meanwhile, Northwest Charlotte neighbors at Friendship Missionary Baptist Church are fired up over NCDOTs surprise I-77 south toll lane plans, an elevated design that could hike noise and emissions in McCrory Heights historic Black community, despite calls for more input from Council member Malcolm Graham.

No major crime in the past day, but stay vigilant after weekend wrecks. Solid Waste plowed Uptown paths, and CATS kept Blue Line trains ice-free.

Looking ahead, check upcoming community events like snow-melt cleanups at local parks. Job market holds steady with about 5,000 openings in tech and logistics per recent listings. Real estate sees median home prices around 420,000 dollars, up 3 percent, hot near NoDa.

A feel-good shoutout: our Landscape Management crew cleared sidewalks at 33 city spots, including fire stations, so we all stay safe. Thanks for tuning in, listeners, and subscribe for more. This has been Charlotte Local Pulse. Well see you tomorrow with more local updates. This has been a Quiet Please production, for more check out quietplease.ai.
