I think construction needs to come over to Hammond Street and level the street out.
00:12
The sidewalks are too high, so the cars are parking towards the street because they can't open the doors.
00:25
Did you copy that? The street you were just on, Juma?
00:26
What's going on?
00:29
The cars are parking feet in the street blocking us from getting by because the sidewalks are too high.
00:44
Yeah, it's a job for construction over here.
00:47
The sidewalks are too high.
00:48
Way too high.
00:49
They can't even open their doors.
00:56
Can you get us out? Teddy, you got a chance to drive by, you can check the local Hammond Street and Howland Street area.
01:18
Unless Brian, did you make it out of there, or do you need help right now?
01:23
Yeah, I was able to get by, but that is not a job for you.
01:27
This is for somebody in construction to come look at these sidewalks and how high they are, that the cars are parking facing the street, because they can't even open the doors.
01:36
The sidewalks are too high.
01:38
So it's something for a construction supervisor or somebody.

I'm going to go over there, take some pictures, and I email T.J.

Let them know what's going on over there.

I can take a couple of pictures for you in a second and send them to you so you can send them to T.J.
02:00
Copy. That would be very helpful.
02:02
I don't even need to go over there yet.
02:03
If you could send me some pictures,
02:05
I'll shoot it to T.J.
