Call it planning mixed with some luck as we drop this episode on the very week when we see a wintry mix of precipitation, school delays and our Dublin city crews on the job making sure our roads, bridges and walking paths stay clear and safe. The person leading that charge is Dublin's Public Service Director, Jay Anderson, who joins Lindsay and Bruce to talk about plans for winter 2024. Jay has been with the City nearly 30 years and discusses a wide range of services under his purview: curb-to-curb snow removal, park maintenance and leaf collection just to name a few. Jay answers the question that pops up every fall - should you mulch, collect or leave your autumn leaves on the ground? Plus, now that winter is here, listen for his number one tip for residents to help city crews clear the streets of snow. And if that's not enough, yes, artificial intelligence has come to snow predictions! We also want to give a shout-out to all of our listeners as this episode kicks off Season 3 of Link Ahead. We couldn't do this podcast without YOU!
