Hey, the flashed call if I took off.
00:03
We're in the room.
00:06
Can't let me just move it.
00:12
We just dash this file on come.
00:17
Hey Bob, go ahead.
00:19
Unfortunately on Moore Street there is another wordable tree branch because there's roadwork going on, so I can't pass it without hitting the tree branch.
00:29
Hey 104 tree branch, did you see currently any people around the area working on it? That's fine.
00:39
Hey 104, if you feel comfortable, could you go ahead and ask them the status of whether or not the tree branch will be moved?
00:50
You want me to ask them if they're going to move to the tree branch?
00:54
Here's the problem, if you feel comfortable talking to the workers, could you go ask them about the status of whether the tree branch will be moved since?
01:02
Hey, it's not on the ground.
01:05
It's just, I'm forced to be on the left outer lane because they've taken out any space in the bike lane.
01:11
So it's still on the tree.
01:12
It's just, I don't have any room to move around it.
01:16
Hey, turn, is it blocking the entirety of the right lane?
01:22
Yeah, they're blocking the entirety of the right bike lane and they're actually pushed in a little bit into the lane with their cones.
01:32
Take 104, is this tree branch a soft or hard tree branch?
01:37
It looks like a pretty soft tree branch.
01:40
It's a smaller branch and it'll bend it looks like, but it's not just leaves, there is a branch in it.
01:49
Since then, so just to confirm if you were to continue, you definitely make contact with the tree branch.
