Local Roads Part 1 with David Orr

Extension Out Loud

After a few months of pause, Extension Out Loud is back! In an interview recorded this February, Katie and Paul discuss the Cornell Local Roads program with program director David Orr. Do you know who maintains the road you live on or the road you drive to work on? Maybe you’ve never thought about it less there’s a pothole or snowstorm. Listen in to hear learn about the history, laws, and science of local roads and their maintenance. David is also a senior extension associate in the Department of Biological and Environmental Engineering at Cornell University.
