Put in a second request for police to come here. This tractor trailer is blocking both the northbound lanes on western, and we still have wire lane in the street. And just to cover my bases, could you request comment to come out just in case they could move this letter? All right, what am I going to tell, ComEd? Are there wires flying to them laying in the street? I don't believe they are, but I could be wrong. They're not arcing. They don't seem to be a power table. It seems to be, like Department of Transportation said, it could be a Comcast. or a table company, but Department Transportation denied it was their wires. It's about 100 feet of wire blocking Lester Avenue in Northbound. All right, so we'll get them out there. Message received, thank you.
