Yes ma'am, you need to reroute Route 3 and 4 we're heading in.
00:05
They're supposed to use Elliott first three like Route 6 and back to Manashello and Ridge because they close.
00:16
the endbound at Elliott and Ridge Street.
00:20
They can come by Elliott,
00:23
Third Street,
00:24
like Route 6, Manashello, and back to Ridge.
00:27
Heading in, 4 and 3.
00:30
Okay, 409 moving up.
00:36
Time out, Sherzoy.
00:38
I just noticed something also.
00:40
They have the bottom of Monticello closed, so that's affecting Route 1.
00:47
I'm down here by ACAC and it's blocked.
00:52
There's nothing going up to Rear Street using Monticello.
00:57
So, um... I was suggested they just stay on Avon and night and come on back home.
01:03
Because as up right now, like I'm looking right at them.
01:07
I'm passing the route two on my left side.
01:10
I'm heading back up, and they have that block hitting up the Ridge Street.
01:14
So no go on Monticello the Ridge.
01:20
Copy, I didn't know about that part because when I passed here it was open.
01:24
Okay,
01:25
then, uh,
01:27
uh, okay, Monticello, Avon,
01:30
and back that way.
01:33
So that goes for that route six also because he won't be able to make the left turn to go up Moncello to Ridge.
01:42
Yeah,
01:43
which I don't understand, they got it blocked, but yeah, they got a block.
01:48
212 to Jonathan.
01:52
Yes, sir, go ahead, Mr.
01:53
Bond.
01:54
So which way would you want me to go since I can't make that left when I come through that?
02:01
All right, Bond.
02:02
I mean, traffic real heavy to the right.
02:07
If you come out, if you hear it up in Monticello,
02:10
um,
02:12
I would tell you cross the tracks.
02:14
That's the way I'm going right now.
02:16
Traffic heavy that way also.
02:18
Uh,
02:20
and a train about to come.
02:21
So make the right of Monticello go up towards Avon.
02:26
All right, ten-four, I'm copy.
02:29
Hey, Maude, what's your exact location now? Have you turned off of Elliot yet?
02:35
Real line, one of you think I got a transfer.
02:39
You're asking me? No, I'm just leaving food line.
02:41
All right.
02:46
Give me an update as you get closer.
02:47
They may open the road.
02:50
And also give me an update on your passengers before you make the left to first.
02:55
Because if you don't have anybody going to Crescent Halls, you can keep straight up to Elliot.
02:59
Just keep me posting, please.
03:01
10-4[1] will do.
03:03
Grab me that, thank you, sir.
03:06

03:07
Am I making the left one, Avon,
03:10
or the right?
03:12
And it's your route. You're a route too, correct?
03:15
Yes, sir.
03:16
Yeah, the left will bring you back home.
03:18
The right will take you out the 5th Street Station.
03:21
So I want you to make the right and then I want you to make the next right on the Elliott Avenue.
03:26
Going out, Elliot, make the left on the 5th.
03:30

03:54
Alright, Route 6, you're gonna deal with traffic,
03:59
but you can go normal route, Route 6, heading out.
04:03
