Yep.
Mount Fortune Center.
Yeah, I'm wondering, are there people available from the city to come out to 40th Avenue South
and tell us if they think that this water in the back of our yards is going to be coming up from the storm sewer?
It's been rising a little bit all day.
Okay, you'll have to call down the ELC.
That's what I did.
Okay, we'll help. Their lines are busy and they transferred upstairs.
If you just keep coming, you will get through.
Okay, thanks.
I'm sorry, can I help you?
Yeah, I was wondering, is that County Bridge only open to a bunch of traffic and sandbags?
Or can people like that go over to Christmas and really get across?
So it is open.
It is, because it is on County Bridge, it is not.
Oh, they did?
Yeah, they just said it's only open to a sandbag and trucks and essential trucks and personnel and that traffic not allowed.
I'm sorry, I have not heard that, I guess, and I don't know.
Okay.
All right, thank you.
