Ninth Street is reopening this Thursday afternoon after months of stormwater upgrades — but the work isn’t over. While traffic flows with one lane each way and a center turn lane, crews will still install sidewalks, pedestrian signals, and fresh lane markings. Expect minor delays and lane shifts, especially between Labor Day and the next KU game. Major construction pauses for games, but pavement work moves east toward Vermont starting Sept. 14 — possibly extending into next week. Final touches like bike lanes and signal upgrades are on track for completion this fall, plus nearby parking lots and alleys will get attention too.

Kansas voters turned out in record numbers for their primary, showing fierce engagement on critical issues like whether Supreme Court seats should be elected — a measure that narrowly failed. Echoing last year’s rejection of an abortion protections ballot question, Kansans are clearly watching closely when it matters. Election officials praised the smooth run of the vote and are already preparing for November. The Attorney General race is heating up as Democrats eye a comeback from last year’s razor-thin loss, while the U.S. Justice Department moves to sue KCK Public Schools over transgender student policies — a legal battle that could shake up federal funding.

Julius Beasley’s legal troubles just got hotter—less than three weeks after a murder charge against him was dropped due to lack of evidence, he now faces trial for robbery and aggravated burglary. The incident, which occurred in March at an apartment building, turned violent when Beasley allegedly tried to steal a resident’s wallet, leading to a brutal fight involving glass cuts, headbutts, scissors, a rubber mallet, and even a bite. Both men ended up in the hospital. Beasley’s attorney is pushing for treatment center placement, and his next court date is October 20th. With a history of drug convictions, burglary, and fleeing supervision, Beasley’s legal saga is far from over.
