Traffic Operations	118 Jeff Wolfe Agency	U Undecided	This product does not appear to be traffic-related. We would defer to subject matter experts in the Cabinet.	Sep 20, 2010	700
KYTC	360 Michael Carpenter Agency	U Undecided	This product appears best suited to function in place of: straw bales, sand bags and silt fences. Depending on the circumstances it may be a better option. The need for longevity should be balanced against the product cost. The primary function of this product appears to be erosion control. There is mention of potential use for the geocells in a soil stabilization capacity but none of the review material elaborated on this.	Sep 17, 2010	694
