I'm removing those parries over (number withheld) right now.
00:03
It's going to open up 5-2.
00:05
Okay, 4. Thank you, Sarah.
00:09
Welcome.
00:15
Louisiana Pascal if the lieutenant is right?
00:20
Sounded by.
00:21
He was saying the stage on Fifth Avenue is on 5-5, is it 54 and 55 and on 5th?
00:29
Yeah, it's between 55th and 54th Streets.
00:32
They're still dismantling it.
00:34
It's taking two lanes.
00:36
There's a truck parked next to it, so they're putting everything into the truck, loading into the truck.
00:40
So he's taking a couple of lanes on Fifth Avenue.
00:43
10.4 is the borough with them at this moment?
00:47
Negative.
00:50
Not for.
00:53
Charge a quarter red on that.
00:57
P.O.
01:10
Castillo, 115 on here.
01:17
Hi Castillo, you and your partner, can you do me a favor? I need 51st Street temporarily shut down westbound from your street to 6th Avenue.
01:28
Just southbound is still fine.
01:29
Just don't let the cross-town towards 6th Avenue on 51st Street down temporarily, okay?
01:39
Okay?
01:41
We're going to pass out to transportation ICT.
01:46
Okay,
01:49
we're going to try to stop westbound traffic from 5-1 and 5-6 avenue for a bit.
01:55
I spoke to Cutler.
01:56
They have like heavy traffic at that corridor so we could probably temporarily shut it down for a minute, right?
02:05
So 51st Street to 6, we're closer now.
02:12
Senator Fisgall on the air? On the air.
02:16
Kwame, if you do that, you got it to Madison as well.
02:19
Madison and 5-1 as well.
02:22
Right direct.
02:30
Sergeant Madero.
02:31
Sergeant Madero. On the air, feel.
02:34
All right,
02:37
Scott was Roger Madero.
02:45
Sergeant Field on the air, Sergeant Steele.
02:52
Hey Anthony, can you make your way over to 53rd and Matt and that block a car to move? When that happens, we could let traffic slow down 503rd to 5th at this time.
03:04
5.4 on my way.
03:15
Corbecki, you're right on that?
03:18
For both routes, all location, 50 third in there.
03:22
You all this regard, Corbecki staying with the Dean for there.
03:29
Thank you. When it's time.
03:34
Wait,
03:36
Sergeant Field and Sergeant Corder?
03:38
Stand it by.
03:39
So you can't do it now or no?
03:41
Yeah, absolutely.
03:42
5-3. If you're either you or Andy,
03:45
just open it. Just let me know when it's open, please.
03:47
Senator Paul, thank you.
03:53
Sergeant Cors on there.
03:55
Stand by.
03:57
Just hold. Just leave because of detour balls.
04:01
Hey Andy, can you ask him to move that blocker?
04:14
If there's any issues,
04:16
just let Sergeant Fiel talk to the guy?
04:19
Yes, they're moving the blocker right now, sir.
04:21
Have a thought, thanks.
04:37
Lieutenant Pascal to transfer station ICC.
04:42
Go further state.
04:44
Yeah, just landline, Saga Madera, so it was also going to be doing a temporary closure on 5-1 of Madison, red direct.
04:51
So 5-1 from Matt all the way to 6th, we're closing the traffic right now.
04:56
Yeah, perfect.
04:58
Everyone.
05:03
Lieutenant Coe on here?
05:06
On there.
05:08
Hey boss, if we should get up to that stage area on 54 and 5 and 5 and it hasn't been cleared up, I'm going to need one of your small cars to 85 feet there so they can just hold down that lane while it gets broken down.
05:23
But I'll let you know shortly.
05:30
Sergeant, stand.
05:35
That's disregard.
05:38
Officer Song, 110, precinct on there.
05:41
Oh yeah.
05:43
85, me over here, 90 at 5, 4, and 5, and I'll give the instruction.
05:49
That's 4.
05:55
Lieutenant Costello on here?
05:59
On here. On here.
06:01
Boy, be advised, 53rd Street is now open to traffic.
06:05
We might have to hold off on 50 foot for a little bit.
06:08
We have sanitation moving on, a lot of garbage on shift.
06:13
All right, 7th 4.
06:18
Sergeant Korda, yeah?
06:20
Stand-bye.
06:21
Sergeant Marginsville.
06:22
I'm here at 515.
06:23
Can traffic go southbound?
06:26
Yep, that's correct.
06:27
They should absolutely be going southbound.
06:29
I think they put in a temporary close on 5-1N mad, if I'm not mistaken.
06:35
But we should definitely keep traffic flowing because we don't want to lose Fifth Avenue.
06:40
We don't want to lose it to all the people.
06:42
Send it for you, want me to still stand by Saxis Avenue on the road?
06:49
Yeah,
06:50
give me a favor.
06:51
Hang out there, you know, just in case the crowds, if there's no cars going, then the crowds are sure to start going on to Fifth Avenue.
06:59
If you just try to avoid that, please.
07:02
Ten for our head over there.
07:11
Lieutenant Pascal on here?
07:14
On here.
07:16
Hey Lou, we have traffic open on southbound fifth at 5-1, correct? Yeah, correct.
07:22
I just spoke to the portable, so he's corrected his issue over there.
07:28
Okay, Timu, we want to keep fifth open.
07:31
We want to keep traffic flowing.
