Eastbound Route Two stating that at Franklin and Chicago Avenue was shut down with police activity.
00:08
So I'm wondering if you can head that way and check on that.
00:14
Okay, do we have a, did our bus move or do we have any buses eastbound approaching that area?
00:21
We have one bus.
00:23
Bus 1842 is still on Franklin Avenue just west of I-35W.
00:32
He crossed Park, then he makes right on Park, left on Twenty-fourth, Twenty-fourth all the way down to Eleventh, left on Eleventh.
00:39
Then just in case as I get stuck.
00:43
All right, copy.
00:44
I'll get a hold of him.
00:45
Not that far.
00:46
[inaudible].
00:49
All right, copy. It looks like another Route Two is calling as well, so it's probably the same thing.
00:55
Okay.
00:58
So the directions he gave me, you said right on Park.
01:01
However, if you take a right on Park,
01:03
that is a one-way going into downtown Minneapolis.
01:06
So the operator in 1842
01:10
passed Portland.
01:12
Do you want him to take a right on Oakland?
01:16
We’re aware of a shorter detour.
01:18
If he rides on Eighteenth, Eighteenth crosses Chicago and the next block is Oakmont Street.
01:28
Okay, so left on Oakland, right on Eighteenth, right on what is that Elliott?
01:37
That’s Chicago.
01:38
I believe there was the Elliott connector.
01:40
There,
01:41
but we got through a lot of Chicago.
01:54
Seven to eleven.
01:57
Three sevens.
02:00
Account with us 1215.
02:02
So what are we going to do for the long at Chicago?
02:06
Right on.
02:09
Okay,
02:10
Wrong would be the same.
02:12
Oh, by the way.
02:15
Okay, so eastbound left Chicago, ready.
02:19
Right,
02:21
What again?
02:23
Front is closed at Chicago all the way down next block.
02:27
I believe that’s Elliott.
02:29
Whatever is after Elliott, I don’t know that street.
02:32
I am out by van if you can look at the map please.
