Hey, just wanted to let you know that there is a construction crew that is currently shutting down the...
00:07
bus stop area in front of Anderson and Russell.
00:12
I was able to service my passenger's car side,
00:16
but the crew is not done setting up cones, and I'm not sure how feasible that's going to be a little bit later on in the morning.
00:24
And also, they are directing us to go over the median.
00:28
It was a safe maneuver, and I was able to do it slowly.
00:32
I also have route supervisor Natalie with me.
00:36
who was able to supervise the maneuver and she also deemed that it was safe to complete.
00:42
She sent for route supervisor supervising, just to confirm,
00:49
you did or did not go directly above the median with your tires?
00:57
Yes, I did directly drive over the small, very low-rise median at the intersection of Anderson and Russell with my tires, all four of them.
01:11
K-104, the low,
01:14
small,
01:15
not tall, very small,
01:17
concrete median.
01:18
Just to confirm, also,
01:20
are either of the straight lanes impeded by the construction crew, or is it just the bus stop slash bike lane?
01:29
It is the bus stop slash bike lane?
01:35
I was able to get into the straight spots after the detour, but you cannot just go straight on those lanes.
01:44
It's turned into a one way, basically like it's turned into a bottleneck in which there's only one lane, and then it splits off into the far most right lane, the second most right lane, the bike lane, and then the left turn lane.
02:01
Hey, 10.4 sounds good.
02:03
And just what would be your recommendation to future Gulf and Juliet drivers to service Anderson and Mussel ADA with 900 feet? Would you do that before or after the construction site?
02:13
Hey, I would attempt to do that right before the construction site.
02:18
The only issue is that ADA passengers will have to traverse the sidewalk for quite a bit because they have it blocked off.
02:27
almost all the way up into the senior health center.
02:32
There's a giant sign, but it does seem that pedestrians can walk past that sign to be able to get a bus who would be able to service them ADA.
02:43
Thank you so much.
02:44
I will relay this valuable information to the rest of the Gulf and Juliet drivers.
02:49
Also, when you get back to the summer, you can lay in tuning on service.
02:52
10-4[1]-2-me-9 surface.
02:58
Go for three.
03:01
Any call, please.
03:06
Go for three on-com.
03:07
Okay, Jess, stand by one quick second.
03:09
Go ahead, 22.
03:12
Hey, I just wanted to say that I could cover the 86523 after my 22 startup.
03:17
There's just a chance I'm going to be a little bit late given how I've regularly come back a bit late.
03:22
That's alright.
03:24
Hey, no worries, yeah, I'm aware of the nightmares of the last mic.
03:29
Sounds good. Thank you so much for covering Sky.
03:30
I really appreciate it.
03:33
Hey, no problem.
03:37
Hey, Jess, are you still welcome?
03:40
Hey, that's affirmative.
03:43
I have a service announcement for the Dolphin of the Juliette.
03:46
Can I just have you standby on Com and keep an ear out, please? I'm going to announce it once I have the other Gulf and Juliet drivers on Com as well.
03:53
Hey, 104.
03:59
Just rush go for 23.
04:01
Okay, 23, calm and stand by, please.
04:09
Column 24, it's dispatch.
04:13
A, gover 24.
04:15
A24, column and standby, please.
04:22
Column 4, driver Mia, it's dispatch.
04:29
Dispatch, gopher 4.
04:32
Hey, 4, actually you can disregard.
04:39
24 are you both on com?
04:42
Okay, that's an affirmative.
04:44
That's affirmative.
04:46
Hey, sounds good.
04:47
Good morning, guys.
04:48
I just wanted to let you both know and column 3 that there is currently an active construction site at Anderson and Russell inbound.
04:56
I was informed by another driver that you may be directed by the construction crew to go over the center median, which is very low,
05:07
to avoid the construction site.
05:10
I just wanted to give you guys a heads up so that you guys exercise extra caution when you approach that stop.
05:16
If you have passengers who need the stop or see passengers who want your bus, make sure to pull in before and not after the construction site.
05:24
And after you service the stop, just follow the construction cruise instructions unless it's unsafe.
05:30
You guys are able to go over that little median between the Western name.
05:38
As long as you do it underneath five miles an hour and very careful about it.
