CSAR 37 Flashing Curve Delineators
At a previous meeting discussion of the delineators; not working at all was determined
that they are in disrepair. The installation of the delineators was a grant pilot program
and the source fuming has been used and any costs to repair and maintain the flashing
delineators would be at Wright County's cost and they have terminated the project,
Direction to staff is needed to see if the Council would like to ask Wright County to
repair the flashing delineators as an effective safety program.
