Our weekly program, Making Democracy Work, is a collaboration between KSMU Radio and the League of Women Voters of Southwest Missouri. It's hosted and produced by volunteers from the LWV, and it airs each Monday morning at 9:45 on KSMU.
In this episode of our local program Making Democracy Work, Leslie Carrier speaks with Colten Harris, Springfield Public Works superintendent of streets.
Harris gives us a behind the scenes look at winter road preparedness and discusses how the city plans all year for winter weather events. He talks about how streets and roadways are prioritized and about how closely the forecast is followed ahead of anticipated winter weather.
