The Shawnee Pulse

• The Shawnee Pulse State of the City 2025

  Last week, Mayor Mickey Sandifer presented the 2025 Shawnee State of the City. Take a listen to hear what happened last year in the City of Shawnee and what lies ahead. Plus, the Mayor was joined on stage to talk about the opportunities for businesses in Shawnee and the community's housing market. This episode was recorded live from the stage audio and there are a couple of points where the audio has issues, so we do apologize in advance.

• The Shawnee Pulse - Snow Plow Ride-Along

  With snow falling once more in Shawnee, we wanted to take you behind the wheel and hear what it takes to get Shawnee ready for a winter storm, to keep the plows rolling during the storm, and dig the City out after the storm is over. It takes a dedicated team of drivers from all across the City of Shawnee, and one of them was nice enough to let us tag along this morning as the snow was still coming down.

  Welcome to the inaugural episode of The Shawnee Pulse, where we take you inside the happenings in the City of Shawnee, Kansas.

Deputy City Manager Colin Duffy joins us to discuss when to expect those vouchers to arrive in the mail, how residents can use them, and other requirements for trash service providers in the City of Shawnee.
