Mr. Maurer indicated it is not recommendedsince the segment is not wide enough. Discussion ensued and it was the consensus of the committee to take off “restriping” and to move this segment to low priorityand also to move segments N, C, and C1 to high priority.Committee Member Kramlinger indicated thesegments with safety concerns are the ones that should be high priority and felt those should alsobe ranked in order (i.e., I as #1andthen Eas #2, etc.). After further discussion the committee decided to only rank the two highest priorities.
