It's not compelling -whatever is in there, she'd like it to be reflective; cover the posts from top to bottom with reflective tape and put in twice as many, equally spaced -you will get a letter confirming that your appeal is granted City of Saint Paul Page 22 Legislative Hearings Minutes - Final July 7, 2015 -no specific deadline; just put them all up within the same week Grant the appeal on the condition that the owner put reflective posts alongside the driveway.
