Our web hosting service is having some hardware problems today, so please bear with us.
No commentsOrange alert Monday!
Monday's SkyCast is the first orange alert of the year, which means the air will be hazardous for sensitive groups (the elderly, those with asthma). All others are encouraged to avoid prolonged exposure between 11 a.m. and 8 p.m. This condition is our fault (humans cause 50% of ground-level ozone), so please:
- DO NOT MOW
- DO NOT PUMP GAS
- TAKE PUBLIC TRANSIT
KCATA and The JO's fares drop to 50 cents on ozone days. Remember when we didn't have a SkyCast?
No commentsMayor pumps gas to promote transit
Kansas City Mayor Mark Funkhouser pumped gas (check the photo and video goodness) for customers of the QuikTrip at 43rd and Main today to promote transit, specifically some upcoming meetings where the public can provide input to the regional and KCMO light rail efforts that are underway.
