It's more of a Shelbyville idea anyway. In this episode, we talk about the future of public transportation in Bozeman. How will we promote the humble bus now that we're a city of over 50,000 people? How much does a light rail cost? How do we reduce traffic even as we continue to grow as an economic hub for the area? We discuss these questions and more with Bozeman's Transportation & Engineering Director Nick Ross.

It has been a weird winter for Bozeman residents. We're used to seeing snow on the ground and freezing temperatures for months on end, and instead, we've seen mild temperatures and plants budding. Mayor Morrison sat down with NRCS Hydrologist Florence Miller to learn more about the relationship between snow and our water supply, and what our current snowpack is looking like. Here are some resources we referenced in the episode: Montana Snow Survey - check here after April 6 for the Water Supply Outlook for April Montana Water Outlook Reports Interactive Map with Snowpack Percentages Gallatin Snowpack Gallatin Water Supply Forecasts
