Good morning, this is your Flagstaff Local Frequency for Wednesday, July 23, 2025. The monsoon season is keeping our forests and neighborhoods fresh, but it is also sprinkling the town with plenty of stories and local happenings to enjoy today. Let’s get your day started with some news about community recognition. Congratulations to Shannon Anderson, Flagstaff’s Senior Deputy City Manager, who has been awarded the 2025 Gabe Zimmerman Public Service Award. That’s a huge shoutout to the ongoing commitment our city leaders have for building a vibrant Flagstaff.For those planning to travel or commute near Parks, heads up that Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway will be closing the Garland Prairie Road railroad crossing starting this Friday, July 25, through Monday, July 28, for emergency repairs. Daytime closures will run from five in the morning to five in the evening, but the road reopens at night. This crossing is vital for many locals, so if you’re living south of the tracks, be prepared for the 19-mile detour to the Bootlegger railroad crossing near Williams Junction. Electronic message boards are up, but do allow yourself some extra time if you need those routes.Turning to events, families and community members have some great options this afternoon. From three to six, the Humboldt Education Foundation and local partners are hosting a Back to School Health and Wellness Fair.
