Road salt is a necessary evil during the winter. It is great for melting snow and ice but too much of it isn’t great for the surrounding plants and animals. How much is too much and is there a happy balance between driver safety and environmental impact? That is what my guest in this episode has been studying for years and years. This episode my guest is Dr Sujay Kaushal, professor of Geology and Earth System Science at the University of Maryland as we talk about road chemicals and the surrounding environment. All that and more on the Driving You Crazy Podcast.

It has been 20 years since I have spoken to anyone with the Northwest Parkway tollway in metro Denver. It was worth the wait. This episode my guest is Mathieu Lisbonis, the CEO of Northwest Parkway. The parkway is just 9 miles in NW Metro Denver but it could be the key connection to an expansion into Jefferson County. We explore tollway expansion, operations and how they are dealing with toll evaders and more in this edition of the Driving You Crazy Podcast.
