10-4. Do we usually block the traffic at 15th and poles going north and south?
00:08
It's already blocked,
00:10
but they didn't block the westbound as close as they still do, so I dropped some cones there to help with drive through traffic.
00:20
Temple, I can redeploy, but it sounds like it's okay for now.
00:24
If you can get to that spot, just park alongside my truck, I'm walking through to see what's going on.
00:31
So you can go to that location.
00:34
It's going to be a minute it looks like before they will start from that end.
00:39
So long.

I'm at 15th and folk I was planning on holding traffic while the parade pitch through at that point.
00:47
At 104, my biggest concern is all that traffic that is passing that point, and then turning north on Tyler.
00:56
I've been having to turn people around back there, so I've got my cones all the way across there to help control that.

Go ahead ma'am 26 in Hayes I believe this is going to be at central services on town property

The streets have deployed the barricade too far to the east, so we're getting a lot of traffic on the east, but I drop all my cones right there at the closest intersection towards Polk Street, so we'll see what happens with that, but your help would be appreciated there.
