More standby. I'm just making sure Easton University is clear, and then I'll let 4.15 open up the road, but I need two GPD cars parallel across University Avenue blocking Eastbound.

The next section of roadway that will open is from 13th Street to 6th Street, but we won't open that until the street sweepers are clear of 6th Street, and then I need two Mars units to block eastbound at 6th Street across the roadway. Units to the north and south on 6 can prepare their areas to open, but we'll take our time doing this to make sure everybody's ready.
