KYTC	528 Wesley Glass Agency	N Disapprove	Unless things have changed the Cabinet has not been a big proponent of concrete sealers and I support this opinion. There should be no need for the additional effort and money spent if the concrete unit is properly constructed with an appropriate concrete mixture and construction practices. The only interest in my thinking would be if, following construction, cracking is an issue. The contractor could propose such an application to address remedial efforts. This would be on a case by case basis and up to Cabinet approval based on the severity of the problem and if accepted would be the contractor's responsibility.	Jan 11, 2013	1141
KYTC	32 David Quarles Agency	Y Approve	We concur with Mr. Criswell's comments. We concur with Mr. Criswell's comments.	Jan 09, 2013	1140
KYTC	32 David Quarles Agency	Y Approve	I would recommend its use on a trial bases but was wondering about its affect on skid resistance. It appears to be a penetrating type sealer but would recommend testing on skid resistance if used on riding surfaces of bridge decks or concrete pavements.	Jan 08, 2013	1139
KYTC	592 Tim Tharpe Agency	U Undecided	Does not appear to have any Traffic Operations applications. Defer final ruling to subject matter experts.	Jan 07, 2013	1138
