What the consulting engineer was saying in "terms" we understand: You can spend $300,000 and it won't hurt anything but it won't improve safety on the multi-modal paths in my expert opinion. In others words, you are throwing away $300,000 plus you will have a continuing maintenance issue down the road. 300,000 here and 300,000 there and soon it adds up to real money.

Sound like a committee decision similar to the committee that was designing a new breed of horse and came up with the camel.
