00:08
They all need to be on the curb.
00:11

00:16
One of the two lanes going north.
00:20
No,

Do you say you want to 2-2 and Kenwood shut down right now?
01:43
Oh, cars are just snaking around and then trying to get down onto Gillham.

So if they're going to the hospital, no, they can go that way.
01:51
Okay. We all shut it down at 2-2.
01:53
Just be advised there's a parking garage where they can get out from where I can't see them.
