Yeah, the other day I had to work with the FD to cover that up with a cone.

They tried to secure it as much as possible, but it just wasn't lodged in properly.

If you can get a numeric close to that manhole, we'll notify DPW, that way to come out and try and reset that permanently.
01:11
Yeah, I got that.

When these guys start milling and we have the traffic coming this way, you can't have this whole thing like this. Someone's going to definitely go into it.
