494-7-7-3. The only concern I have is 21st Terrace and 2nd Avenue at that light.
00:07
Do you need them to detour any traffic from you or is it okay if more traffic, you know, comes back in westbound?

03:16
22nd Street, eastbound traffic should be open, yes.
03:19
But we want to prevent additional traffic from University Avenue getting on to Southwest 2nd Avenue.
03:24
So the turn lanes onto 2nd Avenue from University should be closed.
03:28
Yeah, that's still closed, Renee.
03:30
Go ahead. Do you mind opening up the signal 15?
03:33

20 seconds.
03:57

03:59
Additional signal 12 or sigma 4 is in the area in reference to that thing.

797-733, Meller-Augna.
04:25
Go ahead, Bobby. All right, the lots about empty, we're still gridlocked.
04:29
Are you good with me just opening this up and letting cars four out of here to go north or west? I don't see there'd be an issue at this point.
04:36
Since eastbound university is open.
04:38
I think as long as you can make that safely happen, I'd be still with this.
04:41
Yeah, we'll still be full westbound, but cars will be able to go left or right out of the Odon parking line.
04:46
I'm going to make that happen.
