1. Cool Pavement Hits 200 Miles (phoenix.gov) — Phoenix has now coated 200 miles of city streets with reflective "cool pavement," a treatment designed to lower surface temperatures and ease the urban heat‑island effect in local neighborhoods. Officials say the sealcoat can reduce pavement temperatures by up to 12 degrees and may help keep evening air slightly cooler, with more details available through the city's Cool Pavement Program.
2. TimeDone launches first Phoenix chapter, connecting thousands with jobs, housing, and second-chance resources (abc15.com) — A new Phoenix chapter of TimeDone has launched with a packed community resource fair, connecting residents with housing, jobs, mental health, and reentry support.
