Is there a way we can push some traffic back towards and cross over Mildred Street?

So the end of the parade just turned on to Washington, so they could come across here at North, I believe, to get onto the east side of town.
01:38
Okay, we're going to try to do some of that because we can't keep sending westbound because it's crossing back over the parade.
01:52
I don't know where they'd be coming from westbound.
01:55
Go ahead, 104,
