We start with breaking news from I-10 downtown, where a serious crash yesterday afternoon left four police officers injured and caused major traffic delays for commuters heading westbound. Fortunately, all officers are reported to be recovering, but the scene caused gridlock stretching from Cotton Street to Schuster Avenue. Sunland Park saw another tragic incident last week, and police have now made an arrest in connection with a deadly pedestrian crash. El Paso firefighters are also being praised for their quick response, joining rescue efforts to save lives during recent flooding across Central Texas.
Turning to City Hall, today’s council meeting at 9 in the morning at 300 North Campbell kicks off a series of eleven public sessions where we can weigh in on next year’s city budget. City leaders are emphasizing priorities like public safety and community health, and they’re aiming to avoid raising property taxes for a third straight year. The full budget process will wrap up with the final adoption on August 19th, but as of today, it’s our chance to give feedback that shapes city services and funding for months to come.
El Paso’s job market remains stable, with new employers opening up shop near Bassett Place and job postings holding steady. Real estate agents are reporting moderate summer activity, with homes in the Lower Valley and Westside neighborhoods averaging just over three weeks on the market. The ongoing focus from county leaders is on closing tax gaps and investing in long-term projects.
Our weather today will be another hot one, with the high expected around 98 degrees and lots of sunshine. The heat advisory is in effect, so if you’re heading outdoors, remember to stay hydrated, especially for kids and seniors. Storms are not in the forecast, so look for just a light breeze this evening and a warm, dry night ahead.
On the community scene, the iconic Star on the Mountain will shine tonight in honor of Joaquin “Bean” Silva’s 15th birthday, as well as tributes to Linda Zavala and Amanda Grisel Nevarez. For our veterans, the county’s Veterans Advisory Board holds a public meeting this morning, offering support and resources for those who have served.
Music and cultural events continue this week with live performances scheduled downtown and at San Jacinto Plaza, as well as the ongoing summer arts festival at the El Paso Museum of Art. Local school districts are dealing with a major funding setback after millions in federal grants were paused this month, putting enrichment programs for students—including summer camps and tutoring—at risk. School leaders across El Paso, Ysleta, and Socorro are urging parents to stay tuned for updates on how programs may be affected.
On the brighter side, UTEP’s student rocket team just brought home top honors from an international engineering contest, a proud moment for our city and a testament to the talent coming out of our local schools.
That’s your Local Pulse for today. This has been El Paso Local Pulse. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
