I don't know if you're by the movers or not, but there's going to be a problem at Franklin where you enter onto Lake of the Isles Parkway to go the wrong way.
00:09
They have construction cones up that that moving house is not going to fit in between them.
00:15
So I'm not sure if they're doing a different route or know about that or have someone do a dry run yet or not, but that's going to present a problem.
00:23
Otherwise, the rest of the route looks pretty clear.
00:25
I did not go around Lake of the Isles yet, but...
00:28
Everything else looks good.
00:35
So, correct me if I'm wrong, it's been a couple years since I've been on this side of it, but don't they go down, Douglas,
00:45
go down, uh,
00:47
hold on one sec.
00:49
Then they hit all over and then take a left on Franklin so that they can make that turn on the little cutover on 20 seconds.

Well,
01:09
last year and years that I remember,
01:13
E.10 would park to West Franklin and you go left.
01:19
and then at West Franklin,
01:23
before Logan Avenue South,
01:26
turn on to the parkway there.
01:28
And where the problem is, is that Franklin and Lake of the Alice Parkway.
01:35
Does that make sense?

(number withheld), Unit 220, assisting medics and female reporting lifespan.
01:45
Yep, that does.
01:47
So that, don't they usually use that little cutover though, where the brick is?
01:53
That's the best.
01:55
Copy.
01:57
I guess I don't know what you're talking about with the brick, but the construction cones are all over the place before they need to turn on to the parkway from eastbound Franklin to southbound Lake of the Isles on the way.
02:15
All right, so there's cones where that little cutover is, the little brick path that goes in between there.
02:22
Let me look back around here.
02:25
You said something about a brick wall?
02:28
No, not a wall.
02:29
There's like a brick path that basically separates.
02:32
It's like the median.
02:38
Oh, um... I'll stand by here, I'm turning it out.
02:42
I just texted you a picture I'm talking about.
02:45
It's like that red brick.
02:48
that medium that they can put over on the car.
02:56
In past years they have not done that, but that might be an option this year,
03:03
because if you go just east of that, the brick,
03:07
red brick road area is where the cones are on.
03:11
All right, let me go, I'm gonna go over there and talk to him and see if we can use that cutover.
03:16
That might be the easier option.
03:18
They don't have to make that sharp turn.
