I'm trying to call the EEOC and I called before and I was told to call it and I called that
number again.
I'm getting a police department.
Okay.
Was there something I could help you with?
Well, I walked over on that clay dyke on Columbia Road.
I live in Columbia Court here and I walked over there and in the center of that, it's
only about six inches from going over.
Okay.
It's very low and the rest of it's nice and high, but the middle of the thing, the middle
of the whole span, there's a low place because there's water on both sides and the clay has
gotten soft and it was lowering.
Okay.
So it's, I would say it was in six inches, about an hour ago I was over there.
So it was in six inches going over the top.
Okay.
What part of Columbia Road is that on?
Well, what block?
Well, it would be out in the field there.
It's out there in the athletic field of the university, you know?
So it would be, it starts at the fire hall there on Columbia Road and it goes over to
Gateway.
It's halfway between those two, but it's on the west side.
That's where the clay dyke is.
Okay.
So it's about where the football field is for this week?
It is the soccer field.
They're halfway between.
It's halfway between the fire hall and the gateway.
Okay.
All right.
Well, somebody check on it.
Yeah.
Okay.
Thank you.
Yeah.
