RE: (erielack) SY Milepost Question

Joshua,

	Let's see... If their level of granularity is hundredths of a mile,
that means they go in steps of 52.8 feet. It seems as that location might be
anywhere within the gauge of the street! :)

	Seriously, I think they measured to the centerline of the road...

	- Paul
