Good morning, this is Indianapolis Local Pulse for Thursday, March 27, 2025.
We're starting with some troubling news today. Over the past month, ten children have been struck by vehicles around Indianapolis, raising serious safety concerns. Safe Streets Indy is sounding the alarm, urging city officials to take action to protect our youngest pedestrians. This comes as the Vision Zero task force, aimed at eliminating traffic deaths by 2035, met last month for the first time since October.
In crime news, police are investigating a fatal motorcycle crash that occurred last night near Raymond Street and Sherman Drive on the near southeast side. Details are still emerging, but we'll keep you updated as we learn more.
On a lighter note, Butler University has delivered acceptance letters to Founder's College applicants, bringing excitement to many local families. Speaking of education, high school sports fans are gearing up for the boys' basketball state finals this Saturday. The IHSAA has released a comprehensive preview with rosters, stats, and game notes for all four championship matches.
In weather, expect a cloudy but mild Friday with temperatures in the 50s. However, it'll feel cooler due to strong westerly winds. Rain chances increase as we head into the weekend, so keep that in mind for any outdoor plans.
The job market is buzzing as the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department hosted a recruitment workshop specifically aimed at attracting more women to law enforcement. This initiative could lead to a more diverse police force in our city.
In community news, residents of Mooresville and Brown Township have voted against a controversial Fire Territory proposal. We'll be following up on how this decision might impact local emergency services.
Looking ahead to the weekend, postal workers are planning demonstrations in Fishers as part of national rallies against the potential privatization of the U.S. Postal Service. This follows months of reported issues at the USPS distribution hub on Indy's east side.
Sports fans, Notre Dame's women's basketball team has advanced to the Sweet 16 in their quest for a national title. The team is now preparing for their next challenge in the tournament.
On a cultural note, the Indiana Sportswriters and Sportscasters Association has announced its 2025 Hall of Fame class, set to be inducted at their annual awards banquet on April 6th at Valle Vista Country Club in Greenwood.
Lastly, a bit of good news to brighten your day: tonight marks our first 8 p.m. sunset of the year, signaling the welcome arrival of longer evenings as we head into spring.
This has been Indianapolis Local Pulse. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
