Recommendations and Comments

KYTC	616 Ryan Griffith Agency	Y Approve		Jun 03, 2016	1780
KYTC	804 William Semones Agency	Y Approve	There are many areas in Kentucky we could use this product. it looks more pleasing than traditional guardrail and if it can provide little or no maintenance over its lifetime and no bleeding, then i feel like we should at least try it on an experimental basis.	Jun 02, 2016	1775
KYTC	313 Michael T. Black, P.E. Agency	Y Approve	I believe this product would have merit in Kentucky. As discussed in 'demo' meeting, an experimental project to compare various types of these applications head-to-head would be beneficial. Recommend moving forward to experimental phase.
