Recommendations and Comments

KYTC	804 William Semones Agency	Y Approve	Alert Cast devices were installed on a KYTC project (CID 152002- East Second Street KY 2513) in Mason County, in the city of Maysville around August 2015. it is now September 1st 2016 and Travis Cropper who was project engineer has stated that the devices are still functioning well. we will monitor for one more year but in the mean time, Alert cast will be moved to Phase IV so they can be tried experimentally on other KYTC projects.	Aug 31, 2016	1862
KYTC	252 Kevin Martin Agency	N Disapprove	We have not seen promising performance from similar detectable warnings in the field. We also don't understand how this product could be used in a radius. It does not appear to be as flexible as other products for detectable warnings that need to be curved to fit a retrofitted ramp in a radius.	Jun 14, 2016	1792
Ky Assoc. of Hwy Contractors	47 Michael LaRue Agency	Y Approve		Jun 13, 2016	1791
