Operator 70324. 28, go ahead. So coming up southbound, when we come up 55th and then we have Ripton Boulevard to the left, that area right by that light is super icy. If you don't have any momentum coming up that hill, you're going to get stuck. Maybe a supervisor can put some salt to help us get traction up that hill so we can continue at the lights. It's hard. Copy that. It's only the southbound when you're leaving CTC? Not the northbound; 55th northbound is fine. Yeah, because that's on a hill and we don't stop there. Copy that. We'll put out a notice for southbound buses. Brooklyn Center has already been notified to put salt and sand in that area this morning.
