Gottschalk, PE. <br />ITS Communications Engineer <br />Director Boling explained the towers proposed by the State at <br />the two intersection sites. He advised that staff still recommends <br />against having either tower at the locations proposed by the State. <br />He recommended that staff write back to DOT saying that we still do <br />not want the tower in the interchange and we will continue to work <br />to find an alternative as was done at CR -512. There is still more <br />work to be done on the one proposed at SR -60. <br />39 <br />March 11, 1997 Bon� U �J PAG Lr <br />
