CTP coming out here?
00:02
They were advised by fire.
00:05
Okay.
00:07
Should probably have another car block the traffic over at West 3rd and Superior too because this car is driving by the pole.
00:15
We have the westbound,
00:18
or sorry, the eastbound lanes all blocked.
00:22
Superior and West 3rd.

Happy, are you over there as well right now?
00:33
Yeah, we're over here.
00:35
Seven forty-three.
00:37
We're here with another one man because we have four different lanes here headed eastbound on Superior, so it's taking two cars to block the eastbound traffic.
00:47
And that pole is leaning right in the intersection of West Third and Superior.
00:52
We have blocked the road just west of the intersection.
00:56
Okay, I copy.
00:58
There's another zone car that's going to be heading over there.
01:02
It looks like there's a second pole that's almost ready to fall also, so I don't know if they could put it on the priority list.
01:09
18 radio.
01:11
18, go ahead.
01:14
Yeah, can you see if maybe a traffic unit could come over here and help out?
01:17
Like I said,
01:19
It's a large intersection and right now we probably also need, looks like the gate needs westbound lanes.
01:26
So maybe if you could reach out to a traffic unit and see if they could send one, (name withheld).

Okay.
