695 to the group at the 2200 block.
00:03
Those barricades still down, or are they up yet?
00:05
They just pulled off and started taking them down now.
00:08
All right, the rest of them are up, we're doing our laps trying to clear the street.
00:13
They're just now getting up the hard barricade that yell them.
00:16
Okay, it should be good timing then.
00:19
695, you just need to coordinate with 7-73 if they want to hold their one way while you open the university or if they want to open as well and just let it all go.
00:30
26. For now we're still holding one way all westbound traffic.
00:35
We saw the significant amount of cars.
00:37
So we should make sure 22nd Street holds for that westbound only.
00:43
That opening of Limerin will help north on 22nd Street, which is really backed up.
00:47
695 and 7773 we got a pretty compliant crowd here now we're ready whenever you guys say so engine aid is coming engine if you're responding 2048

494-7-7-3. The only concern I have is 21st Terrace and 2nd Avenue at that light.
01:22
Do you need them to detour any traffic from you or is it okay if more traffic, you know, comes back in westbound?
01:30
We're flowing.
01:31
I think we're still good if you just push traffic westbound here.
01:34

01:35
Sorry, the truck.
01:36
I'm making up call.
01:38
Stand by. I'm still ten-fourteen.
01:39
I think they still need to prevent additional westbound traffic coming to you off of University Avenue.
01:45
I think if we open University east and west all the way that's fine, but I think we need to control the amount of traffic on Southwest 2nd Avenue for you to flush the Odom lot in which you have on 2nd.
01:57
Understood, yes, I understood.
