Commuters balance safety and work amid wintry drive
KDHE employees face grim weather as Topeka closures loom and options include coming in, taking a vacation, or unpaid leave. Commuter Joe Blubaugh notes safety first while many Lawrence workers must pick routes and check KDOT sites before deciding to report. Transport planner Bill Ahrens plans a Topeka trip if conditions permit, facing a rare weather-related absence in five years. Next Friday he leaves Lawrence for a new Olathe post, narrowing his typical 40 minute commute to 15 minutes in normal conditions.
