Good morning, this is Tucson Local Pulse for Friday, May 9, 2025.
Pope Leo XIV is making history today, and Tucsonans are taking notice. The Diocese of Tucson's Most Reverend Kicanas has issued an official statement on the new pontiff, while young adults across the city have gathered to celebrate this significant moment in Catholic history.
In local government news, the City of South Tucson has filed a lawsuit to force the demolition of the Spanish Trail Motel, a long-standing issue for nearby residents. Meanwhile, Oro Valley residents are pushing for improved pay for OVPD officers as negotiations continue.
Traffic safety concerns are mounting in Corona de Tucson as the area experiences rapid growth. After a recent crash shut down Sahuarita Road near Harrison Road, residents are demanding action at what they describe as an increasingly dangerous intersection. Catherine Dayhuff from Sycamore Canyon neighborhood notes visibility issues and speeding vehicles are creating hazardous conditions.
Local business news brings changes to the eastside dining scene, as the former Kneaders location will soon become home to three Angie's concepts under one roof.
In sports, Tucson Roadrunners defenseman Max Szuber is representing Team Germany in the 2025 IIHF World Championship that begins today in Sweden and Denmark. This marks Szuber's third consecutive appearance at the tournament. He'll be joined by several Roadrunners alumni, including Josh Doan and Barrett Hayton, who are now playing in the NHL.
Looking ahead to your weekend, the historic Canoa Ranch is hosting an Anza Tour starting at 8:00 this morning. If you're interested in local media, Tucson Sentinel Co-Publisher Dylan Smith will be guest-hosting the Buckmaster show alongside reporter Paul Ingram today.
On a concerning note, one person was hospitalized following a fight between neighbors in Midtown yesterday. Police are continuing their investigation.
In environmental news, researchers are exploring whether sheep might be an effective method to control invasive buffelgrass around Tucson, a creative approach to a persistent problem in our desert ecosystem.
Political developments continue as Arizona's governor has joined with the Sonoran governor to urge increased business cooperation across the border, potentially creating new economic opportunities for our region.
A local non-profit is tackling the issue of chronic absenteeism in Tucson schools, working to ensure students maintain consistent attendance for better educational outcomes.
This has been Tucson Local Pulse. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
