This week, city leaders review the budget for transit updates and consider new affordable housing developments, especially near East Boulevard and South End. These decisions will impact our commute times, local taxes, and housing options heading into the winter months. Local transportation agencies are working to add more bus routes and improve service, and residents are encouraged to submit feedback at the upcoming public forum on Wednesday night at the Government Center.

Weatherwise, we’re seeing a chilly start across Charlotte today. Expect cloudy skies this morning, with occasional sunshine by midday. Temperatures are hovering in the upper forties, and a brief shower might pass through uptown and Ballantyne after lunchtime. Evening plans should be safe from any major weather events, but it’ll be brisk, so layer up if you’re heading out. The rest of the week looks partly cloudy, with highs in the mid fifties.

The job market shows some movement in the tech sector, with about three hundred new job postings this week, mostly concentrated around the University City and SouthPark areas. Several retailers, including a new sporting goods store on Monroe Road, announced hiring events later in the week. On the flip side, a long-standing bakery on Central Avenue is closing after thirty years due to rising costs, marking a bittersweet end for many in the Plaza Midwood neighborhood.

Real estate data from last week reveals home prices in southeast Charlotte remain steady, averaging just under four hundred thousand dollars for three-bedroom properties.
