🚧 Road Hazards Ahead: How to Report Potholes

Pothole

As temperatures rise and snow melts, Colorado Springs faces an uptick in potholes, with over 800 reported in the last six weeks alone. These road hazards form when moisture seeps into pavement cracks, freezes, and expands, leading to cracks and holes when it thaws.

To aid repairs, residents can report potholes to the City of Colorado Springs or El Paso County's Public Works departments. In Colorado Springs, reports can be submitted online or by phone, 719-385-ROAD (7623), while El Paso County residents can use the Citizen Connect platform.

📝 UCCS Dorm Shooting: Suspect to Undergo Evaluation

In the aftermath of the tragic shooting incident at the University of Colorado's Colorado Springs campus dormitory, Nicholas Trevon Jordan, the accused, is mandated by an El Paso County district court judge to undergo a competency evaluation. Jordan, 25, faces charges of first-degree murder related to the deaths of his roommate Samuel Knopp and Celie Rain Montgomery.

The incident unfolded on February 16, with police responding to gunshots reported by the roommates. Investigations revealed a history of conflict between Jordan and Knopp, culminating in the fatal altercation. Jordan's attorney requested the evaluation, which the judge approved, along with a mental health stay. The case is scheduled for a review hearing on April 12.

🌸 Spring Into Equinox: Tuesday Trivia Teaser

The Spring Equinox is one of the two annual occasions when the sun is directly above the Earth's equator, resulting in the sun rising due east and setting due west, and heralding the return of warmth and daylight to the Northern Hemisphere, typically on March 20th or 21st, due to it being a Leap year, it is on the 19th this year.
