Steve said he does not want to grind any of the dips on Wood River Road. He did reduce the penalties and there are still some areas that need to be ground east 2 bumps and 6 dips and 6 on the west bound. He noted the spreadsheet with the penalties the first 2 bumps those are a culvert that failed and JILL should not be penalized for this on the east bound.
