Yeah, all the kids are going in this little lot near 26 W 26th St between the alley of Troy.

It's right next to me in the alley. It's an empty lot near W 26th St.
00:48
Let's make sure that we have eastbound 26 that can be free flowing, because they're on the sidewalk, they're on the north side of the street, so we can keep eastbound 26 Katsi open and keep this traffic moving.

The kids are in the alley right off of Troy by the lot. They're stopping there.

The tail line is at 26 in Troy.
