Recommendations and Comments

Traffic Operations	118 Jeff Wolfe Agency	Y Approve	I would not consider the Flexguard delineators to be "new products". Seems to me that they should be evaluated for inclusion in the Cabinet's List of Approved Materials for flexible delineator posts.	Mar 25, 2015	1489
KYTC - State Highway Engineer's Office	663 Jonathan Wilcoxson Agency	Y Approve		Mar 23, 2015	1483
