Yeah, so I'm over here at near 45th and Morgan Street and I still have traffic coming eastbound,
00:27
so we can get somebody over there.
00:32
Okay, so where do you need somebody then?
00:36
I know we're supposed to be closing off racing at 47, and hopefully once Ashland is all shut down,
00:43
but I just want for information that they're still coming east on 45.
00:49
I have somebody that can cover 45th and Racine Avenue and blocked that eastbound traffic.
