Talk:236.14 Change in Route Status Report

In the Figure 1 (link below), it shows that the "absorb" starts at the "beginning of new r/w purchase" or ends at the "end of r/w purchase". Shouldn't it state "beginning of new alignment" or "end of new alignment". Correct me if I'm wrong, but a change in Route should refer to the point when the route changes and not the right of way?

Sometimes we have ample existing right of way where the new road starts its re-alignment before the need of of new right of way. It is this section that I am referring to that should be considered within the lmits of "absorb".
